Volunteers are needed to help facilitate online English Language Learner conversation classes on Zoom. The purpose is to help people whose first language is not English practice their English conversation skills. The online classes will be on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:45PM. Each class will have a volunteer facilitator, a volunteer moderator, and 5-6 class participants. Volunteers will participate in training and shadow classes during the first trimester (January-April 2021). In May, volunteers will begin facilitate and moderate online classes. Fluency in English, comfortability with public speaking, and computer skills are required. Volunteers must commit to an entire trimester (four months) of classes. Each volunteer facilitator will receive a picture dictionary and headset to use during online classes.
