About the Program
|
Our long-standing ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program is designed to educate the Queens community, particularly the immigrant population, in the use of the English language. For more than thirty years, we have assisted families in becoming acclimated to life in America by providing free English classes. The program is a place where participants can improve their English proficiency as well as their cultural competence, which are often essential for creating a successful life in the United States.

The program also caters to the needs of new immigrants by helping them integrate into their new society through literacy tutoring, civics lessons (citizenship assistance), health literacy classes, and business English (preparation for employment) classes. Working with other organizations and facilities, the ESOL program provides various workshops and informational sessions covering a wide range of topics including financial literacy, health, and immigrant rights to help its adult participants gain the knowledge and skills necessary for long-term success.
