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 in this 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.
