English Conversation Partners
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
return the form below either by printing it and mailing it or saving it
and returning it as an email attachment.

Learners should
also call to set up an interview. The
coordinator matches volunteers
with
learners. The partners contact each
other to arrange a time to meet
in a
public meeting space. LVA expects a one-hour a week commitment for
one year from volunteers.
Call LV-A at 333-4785.
Literacy Tutoring
This program provides a
tutor to help someone learn to read and write in English or to improve
their English reading and writing skills.
Volunteers who would like to tutor an English Language Learner should call Literacy Volunteers-Androscoggin to fill out an application and sign up for the next 12-hour tutor training session. The director matches volunteers with learners. The partners contact each other to arrange a time to meet in a public meeting space.
