Goodwill of Southwestern PA is looking for individuals who enjoy helping others to make an impact in the immigrant community by working with a small group of adult immigrants in English language skills. Having experience learning another language or having teaching experience is very helpful, but not required.
Goodwill offers English as a Second Language classes online as well as in person at multiple classrooms in Allegheny County. We currently have a class that meets at Northside Common Ministries on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00-12:00PM that is in need of a classroom aide.
Materials are provided and you'll receive training in advance. If you are TEFL certified or are working on your TEFL certification, this could be a good opportunity for you, but we need someone to commit to at least 6 months, ideally twice a week. If you can go longer, that's great too!
The current class time is 9-12 Mondays and Wednesdays.
Time off during vacations and holidays and days that you are sick is of course ok.
Volunteers should have their high school diploma or equivalency and a desire to help adult students achieve their educational goals! While not required it would be nice for volunteers to either have - or be working toward - a bachelor’s degree in any field. An interest in the subject matter is always a plus!Those interested inthis click on the "Sign Up" radio button on the upper right corner of this screen and then****contact Ashley Reilly, Education Volunteer Coordinator by text at 412-498-0412 or by email at ashley.reilly@goodwillswpa.org.
