English as a Second Language

New immigrants who arrive in the United States often face language barriers that impede social integration. Our ESL classes help them secure employment, get involved in their children's education, and become a stronger voice in the community.     

Vocational ESL Immersion

An intensive English language immersion program that focuses on teaching vocabulary and the cultural customs of the workplace. Included in this program is a paid work participation component. Participants progress from the lowest level of language ability to a workable knowledge of English, gaining familiarity with common workplace terminology and developing an understanding of workplace culture. This highly successful program has become a model for other cities with large immigrant populations.
