The program is twice a week during the school year (Mondays and Wednesdays in Hartford & Tuesdays and Thursdays in West Bend). You do not have to know Spanish to work with these students. You are welcome to volunteer when your schedule allows. We will schedule volunteers on a monthly basis to see volunteers’ availability and will send that schedule to all participating volunteers. This program will go from late September 2021 – early May 2022.

HISPANIC ADULT PROGRAMS

English Classroom Aides
We are looking for adult volunteers that would like to help out in our adult English classrooms as aides to the teachers in our West Bend and Hartford locations. You do not have to know Spanish to work with these students. You would not have to volunteer every Tues & Thurs – whatever works best with your schedule.
The Winter-Spring 2022 semester goes for 14 weeks and will finish at the end of April.

·        West Bend morning AND evening classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30am-12pm and 6-7:30pm at Casa Guadalupe (419 Roosevelt Dr. West Bend, WI 53090)

·        Hartford evening classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-7:30pm at St Aiden’s Episcopal Church (670 E Monroe Ave. Hartford, WI 53027)


Tutors for Adults

We are always looking for adult volunteers that would like to help local Spanish speaking individuals one on one with their English acquisition outside the classroom. You do not have to know Spanish to work with these students.

·        Schedule can be very flexible – whatever works best for you and the student once or twice a week. When meeting a student for the first time, a representative from Casa Guadalupe would like to be there to introduce you to each other.

·        Training on teaching English as a second language is available for these volunteers.
 

U.S. Citizenship Tutors
At times, we receive requests from community members who would like to study for their U.S. Citizenship. Tutors will meet one on one with the client at a flexible time that works for both parties, and will help the client study the 100 questions about U.S. government and history, as well as assist the client in filling out the N-400 Naturalization Form. Training is provided.

Spanish Teacher for Adults
Many non-Hispanic community members have been requesting to learn more Spanish. We are searching for a qualified Spanish teacher with at least 2 years experience teaching the language. At this moment we are looking for someone to teach an 8-12 week semester at Casa Guadalupe during Fall/Spring semesters. We would like the class to meet twice a week. *This can be negotiated as a paid position.
