Jeff Meyer GAP is an alternative high school that also offers adult education and ESL classes as well as a variety of other support services. The population which GAP serves is primarily of Hispanic descent, though non-Spanish speaking adults are also welcome to attend classes. English Language tutors are needed to practice conversational English with students of Hispanic, Russian, Somalian, Southeast Asian and other backgrounds. Volunteers are also needed for employment training, ESL, and educational planning with both youth and adults. Easily reached by bus.
Participants come from all different backgrounds and are mostly adults.
There is also the opportunity to present a topic that is of interest to you to a group of elderly Hmong English learners. Vans will be leaving from Macalester Monday evenings, in addition to possible trips during noon hour once a week to help teach computer skills. This program connects Macalester students with local teachers or schools who would like a speaker to talk about the culture of another country. International students as well as U.S. students who have studied or lived abroad are encouraged to volunteer. St. Paul Ave.
