English as a Second Language
Imagine what life would be like if you didn’t know
English. How would you speak to your doctor? Your boss? Your child’s
teacher? English for Successful Living (ESL) is a nonprofit
organization whose goal is to provide an opportunity for immigrant
adults to learn English to help them live a more fulfilling life in
the United States. By improving their English, students are able to
expand their career and social networks as well as better understand
American society and culture. The ESL program offers a variety of
volunteer positions – ESL teachers, substitute teachers,
conversation partners, and tutors. Get more information at
