BIIN Volunteer Opportunities: Co-Teachers & Aides for Conversational English
The Brazos Interfaith Immigration Network (BIIN) seeks volunteers to assist with free English conversation classes for adults. Classes are offered M/W 6:30-8:30 PM, T/Th 6:30-8:30 PM and T/Th 10:00 AM-Noon at 2500 S. College Avenue in Bryan. Each class currently has one teacher. Having two instructors will enable each to be absent on occasion for other commitments, and Aides add value by assisting with learning activities during classes. Curriculum materials and classroom support are provided. English immersion is encouraged during classes, so fluency in Spanish is not necessary. The Fall 2023 session runs September 25-December 14.
Contact BIIN Director Ana-Luisa (Annie) Ortiz for more information:
