Literacy Volunteers has several programs
to help English Language Learners:
Mission:
The English Conversation Partner Program provides one-on-one
meetings between English Language Learners and partners in order to
improve their conversational English skills and to encourage a “cultural
exchange."
Volunteers who would like to partner with an English learner should call
Literacy Volunteers-Androscoggin to request an application and schedule
an orientation interview with the Program Coordinator. You may also
