Volunteer Opportunities

ESL Conversation Group - Virtual

Do you enjoy meeting new people and chatting about a variety of things? Would you like to share your knowledge of the English language and living in the Bay Area? We're looking for volunteers interested in engaging English as a Second Language (ESL) learners in a fun and engaging way. This isn't a class, it's an informal conversation program where ESL learners can practice their English, and better learn aspects of English such as pronunciation and expressions in a fun, relaxing manner.

This program will be held every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. online, via ZOOM. This session differs from in-person ESL at Mitchell Park Library as volunteers help from home.
