Global Impact Initiative

We're seeking English speaking volunteers to help us bring English Conversation practice to Afghan moms. This is a new project for Gii, and it's only possible with the support of dedicate volunteers. Our ELI teacher will provide instruction, we need volunteers to watch below-school-age children while moms are occupied (all onsite together) and after instruction, join the ladies to practice what they've learned.

Afghan women are socially crippled by their lack of English and are very motivated to learn! Help us meet this critical need by volunteering to join our refugee and immigrant ladies once or twice per week, helping them to learn useful phrases, practice pronunciation and build confidence. You will delight in their enthusiasm and determination!

Volunteers don't need a background in teaching! This is a conversation club, women in this group have different levels of fluency and this group is an opportunity to practice speaking. If you enjoy young children, are fluent English speaker and have time to share, then you can make a big impact on a woman's life.

For more information, fill out the inquiry form and we will invite you to an online orientation to learn more about this opportunity.
