English At Large Celebrates National Volunteer Appreciation Week

English at Large (EAL) is a nonprofit organization that helps adult immigrants gain greater understanding of the English language and U.S. culture through personalized instructional programs designed to support their highest aspirations. Our learners benefit from a large network of volunteers and community partners in Greater Boston committed to their success. During this past year, 164 local people have provided over 6,500 hours of service to support their adult learners, our organization, and our staff. We are proud of their dedication and community spirit, which has made a difference in the lives of more than 230 local immigrants across our 24 community service area.

Volunteer Appreciation Week is our opportunity to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts and community spirit of those who take action to support our immigrant neighbors and friends. We celebrate the service and impact of our volunteer Tutors, Conversation Group Facilitators, Beginner English Teachers, Career Access Lab Facilitators, Intake Assessors, and Members of our Board and Committees, as well as our program, event and office volunteers. Your efforts, as EAL volunteers, help make our world a better place. Thank you!

This year we are proud to partner with the Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA) in honoring the commitment and service of our volunteers. MSA is a nonprofit that expands volunteerism and service in Massachusetts, making our Commonwealth a better place to live. Learn more at www.mass-service.org.

We invite our communities to join us in acknowledging the efforts to these wonderful volunteers!
