For some people who cannot effectively speak English simple tasks like reading product labels, following street signs, understanding instructions or talking to a child's teacher can be frustrating and even scary. This limits their roles as employees, as parents and as members of the community. Our students tell us that learning to speak English gives them confidence to become a fully immersed member of our society. You can be the person who helps another to improve his/her life.

Come join us!

The next workshop will be held on Saturday, February 27 and March 5, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church located at 4000 Clayton Road in Concord.

There is a nominal fee to cover the training & material costs. Adult volunteers typically give one or two hours per week. For more information or to register call our hotline and leave a message at (925) 685-3881 or mail us at DVLC4ESL@gmail.com.

As a volunteer you can be the person who makes a difference and changes a life!
