Description

Press release from Livermore Public Library: Aug. 30, 2021 Interested in supporting adults in our community working to learn English? If so, become a volunteer conversation group facilitator once a week and provide a valuable opportunity for English language learners to practice conversation skills. Volunteers meet online or in-person with small groups of adults of various levels to practice and enhance listening, understanding, and speaking skills in an encouraging and supportive environment. Participants become more confident and feel better prepared to interact in everyday situations, such as talking with a doctor, a child's teacher or neighbor, or preparing for a job interview. Additional benefits include an increased sense of community belonging for everyone involved. Long-time volunteer, Diana Fredrich, shared "It's an opportunity for lifelong learning - for learners and for volunteers - we're doing it together. You meet wonderful people, a diverse group of friends from all over the world. And it's fun! If your idea of fun is growing, sharing, and discovering things, and learning more about language and culture, volunteering is a wonderful experience!" If you're interested in volunteering, or curious about learning more (no obligation), a two-part Volunteer Orientation will take place on the following dates from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. via Zoom (please note - participants attend both sessions): Thursday, September 9th, 2021 & Friday, September 10th, 2021. To sign up, please click: Volunteer Orientation - English Conversation Group Facilitators. For more information, please call (925) 373-5507 or email [email protected].
