Volunteer Program

Get Involved!

As we continue our mission to provide a link between the community and international students, scholars and visitors, we actively seek volunteers to assist in this mission. We offer classes in four different levels of English as a second language, and private tutors for language study. In addition we have international dinners, cultural events, and ongoing activities for which we are always seeking volunteers. After filling out the volunteer form, you will receive an email with further information. We ask all volunteers to come in for an interview and orientation, to ensure a good match. Our current volunteer needs are listed below.

Categories of Volunteers: 

Teachers of English and substitute teachers: Most commit to one class per week (1.5hr commitment). Class levels range from beginner to advanced. If interested, please submit a volunteer form and we will follow up with you.

Tutors for private sessions: these individual sessions typically focus on conversation. Matches are made based on tutor availability and requests for tutoring sessions from students. You can volunteer to tutor in English or in another language.

Kitchen and Cooking Help: We can always use assistance, for those interested in helping to prepare food and set-up for our Potluck lunches. In addition during special events we often can use additional kitchen assistance. Note -

Photography and Multimedia: If you have specialized skills in this area, we can use your assistance during events or for special projects.

Data Management and Salesforce: Do you have experience using a Salesforce CRM system? If so, we have different needs and ways we’d like to improve our system. If you have experience with designing, administering or using a Salesforce CRM system and would like to contribute your expertise to our efforts, do let us know.

Committee Involvement: If you have a specific area of expertise and you’d like to contribute it, you may want to consider joining a committee. Please follow up with Alex for current committee needs. Current Committees: Building & Grounds, Development, Finance, Governance, Programs, Strategic Planning.

Host or Create an Event: Many of our program ideas come from the community. If you’d like to create an event, workshop or program with us, please fill out the volunteer form and include details of your idea. We’d love to hear more.
