I want to volunteer
Attend FirstServe first.
Tour the ministry, receive practical orientation, and experience an English class before choosing a weekly role.
English classes
Learn language. Build friendship.
Free English classes create a place where refugee neighbors grow in confidence while students and volunteers learn, laugh, and build community together.
Volunteer as an English Encourager
You don’t need to be a teacher.
Classes meet Monday through Thursday and use a computer-based curriculum. Volunteers serve as personal coaches, helping two or three students navigate lessons, track progress, and stay encouraged.
A consistent 90 minutes each week creates space for language practice and the kind of trust that grows into friendship.
What volunteers bring
- Consistency for one class each week
- Patience, curiosity, and encouragement
- A willingness to learn across cultures
- No previous teaching experience required
