ESL and Citizenship Programs: Our ESL program is offered year-round in 10-week increments. Twice a week, native English speaking and bilingual instructors gather with our clients to teach conversational English in context-focused classes. Classes emphasize social interaction and language skills for specific situations in a safe learning environment. Clients practice language useful for job-seeking and managing other life tasks. This runs hand-in-hand with our citizenship and naturalization classes which focus on American history, government, and social studies.

Technology and Digital Literacy Program: Focused primarily on computers and iPad use, this course meets twice a week to instruct clients on basic technology use in order to help clients develop skills needed for employment opportunities. The course also teaches clients to use technology and social media to maintain communication, navigate around the city, and stay connected with their community. Our clients are given new means to assimilate to their new home.
