English Skills Learning Center

The English Skills Learning Center (ESLC) is a nonprofit organization that integrates and strengthens communities by breaking language and cultural barriers. We do this by offering free, high-quality English, citizenship preparation, and workforce training classes for adult immigrants and refugees -- from those learning to read and write for the first time to those with advanced degrees looking to reconnect with their professions in a new country. 

Our classes are rooted in the belief that learning and integration should be a two-way exchange. While adult English language learners work hard to build their language and civic skills, we invite the established community to learn alongside them through volunteering, workshops, and community events. 

Right now, some of our programs are at risk due to changes in federal funding. Your donation helps us keep these programs going, supports trusted community educators, and ensure every adult who wants to learn has the chance to do so.
