About this Opportunity
Join one of our informal, English Conversation Circles (ECC) at various Seattle Public Library (SPL) locations or online. These programs provide immigrants and refugees the opportunity to practice conversational English in an informal environment. Conversation Partners help lead fun, small-group discussions on various topics that volunteers help plan in advance and work with English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) adults of all skill levels.
ECC's are held in-person at the Beacon Hill, Delridge and Northgate branches, and online at the Central branches of the SPL. Good verbal communication and interpersonal skills in a diverse environment are desired. Develop cross-cultural friendships and learn new skills while making a difference in your community!
Bilingualism and/or experience working with adult immigrants and/or refugees is a plus. Training and support will be provided.
Literacy Source is an equal opportunity employer working towards a culturally diverse workplace. We strongly encourage applications from the BIPOC community, immigrants, refugees, women, people with disabilities, members of the LBGTQ community and other underrepresented and historically marginalized groups.
