Welcome to Refugee ESL in Denver!

If you're unfamiliar with our program, let me welcome you to our blog. This is where you'll find the latest news and announcements about the Colorado Refugee ESL In-home Tutoring program, as well as teaching tips and cultural information for tutors.

If you think you would like to volunteer, please visit our regular Website for more information: http://www.refugee-esl.org/. That site has all of the details about our two volunteer programs, and you can find an application to print out, as well. We regret that we do not have any in-home tutoring positions for men at this time.

Typically, new-tutor trainings are offered once every quarter in the calendar year. Inservice training sessions take place throughout the year as needed.

At this time and for the foreseeable future, the overwhelming majority of our students live near Colafx and Yosemite Streets (just north of Lowry), or in central Aurora (near Colfax and I-225), with a few others interspersed in Glendale. Please keep this in mind if you are considering joining our program as an in-home volunteer tutor.

Our demand for tutors always far exceeds the number of people who are available, so if you think this is the program for you, please visit our Website and then send us an email or give us call. We hope to hear from you soon!

--Sharon McCreary, Volunteer Manager

PLEASE-OH-PLEASE: DON'T FORGET!

REPORT YOUR TUTORING TIME!!!

All in-home tutors must report their tutoring hours at the end of every month. This information is eventually used to show effective use of the grant that funds refugee services in Colorado. We collect data for nearly 100 people every month, so show some mercy and don't wait until the last minute.

You can report your hours via email (preferred) or phone.

Your target, minimum contact hours should be 8 hours per month, or about two hours per week. You are always welcome and encouraged to spend more time than this with your student.

In 2014, your hours are due no later than:

Friday, April 4
Monday, May 5
Friday, June 6
Monday, July 7
Tuesday, August 4
Friday, September 5
Monday, October 6
Wednesday, November 5
Friday, December 5
