ESOL Volunteer
About this Volunteer Opportunity
Make a meaningful impact in someone’s life. The library is seeking volunteers to tutor adults in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). No experience is needed—training and materials are provided, and your support helps adult learners build confidence and unlock a world of opportunities.
Here in West Palm Beach, 32% of the population speaks a language other than English at home (2020 Census), yet English is essential for living and working in our area. The library partners with Literacy AmeriCorps Palm Beach County to offer tutoring for adults in ESOL, but we often have a waiting list and need our volunteers.
Requirements
- No experience necessary.
- Minimum of high school diploma or GED.
- We ask that volunteers commit to at least 4 months of meeting with their students for 1-1.5 hours, once or twice a week.
