December Community Service - Conversation Skills for ESL Students

Saturday, December 01, 2012 10:00 AM | Cara George (Administrator)

December's event was with Language ETC, RPCV/W's Partner in Peace. Every year since 2009, RPCV/W chooses a local non-profit organization to be the focus of our community service, programming, and fund-raising efforts in what we call the Partnership for Peace. This year, our Partner for Peace is Language, Education, and Technology Center (Language ETC), a Dupont Circle area, community-based program offering English and literacy training to low-income adult immigrants in the greater Washington area using volunteer teachers and tutors.

Eleven members of RPCV/W attended to provide a resume, cover letter, and interview skills session, as well as attend the weekly Conversation Club. All were highly attended by the adult students, who were able to practice mock-interviewing, discuss music and current events, and improve their resumes. We look forward to working more with Language ETC in 2013!
