The Welcome Project

Program Overview

Through themes of Education and Goals, Jobs, Housing and Community, Financial Literacy, Health and Wellness, and Civics, The Welcome Project introduces students to community resources, the nuances of a new culture, and opportunities to engage in the civic life of the city. In our English For Parents program, English Proficient adults gain the vocabulary, skills, and confidence to engage with their children's schools.

We offer 4 different English levels for adult English language learners and each class meets two days per week.

The goal for our adult education programs is to empower and equip immigrant leaders. To us, language is only the beginning. In our programs, nearly 200 students are learning leadership through the lens of English classes.

We believe that knowledge is generated by the students and not the teacher and thus create an environment that motivates students by giving them some control over learning processes.
