Want to make a critical difference in someone’s life? Help international adults learn to speak, read, and write English. Kent area volunteer tutors are urgently needed to teach English as a Second Language (ESL).

Tutoring assignments last for a minimum of six months for 1.5 hours, two times per week. Your help gives students the communication skills they need to become successful parents, productive workers, and responsible citizens.
