We Need Volunteers!


Is English your first language? Would you like to share it? Do you love grammar? Join our volunteer team of teachers!

Volunteer teachers commit to three 10-week sessions throughout the year (about 5 hours/week Mondays & Thursdays while class is in session). If you'd like to help out, give us a call at (219) 769-3541, ext 337.
