The Latino Community Association offers Workforce Education classes available to any interested client. Connect with your local Latino community and make a direct impact on people's lives by teaching English!
We are looking for volunteers who:
- Are interested in donating their time in order to help LCA clients learn and in the classroom setting.
- Who understand our mission and vision and align with both (read it here).
- Have the ability to be trained/coached to strive for a shared understanding on what concepts work, what techniques are proven, and how to best meet clients where they are in their journey to learning English.
- Are open to collaboration and critique.
- Have a schedule that permits at least 1.5-3 hours a week of dedication to teaching a specific class (depending on what is decided upon by the volunteer and the Workforce Education Coordinator) and for at least 10 weeks at a time (the usual length of a semester).
- Depending upon the level being taught, teachers need at least a general understanding of the Spanish Language (for advanced students) and are preferably bilingual (for beginner level students).
- Can be flexible in resources available, location of the class, and understand that we are a non-profit organization whereas resources are not as abundant as our counterparts in adult education institutions).
- No prior experience required.
- Have fun teaching their own class.
Classes typically take place once or twice per week for 1.5-3 hrs, depending on instructors' availability and are usually 10 weeks long during the school year.
*We provide all necessary training and materials.
*We offer different levels of classes and each level starts and ends on a different date.
