> Southwest Creations Collaborative is a non profit business working with low income women. On one hand, the women working here earn a bi-weekly paycheck and on the other hand they get offered the Creating Family Assets Program to further advance their skills with the notion that they will be able to advance themselves and their families. One of our programs we offer them are English as a Second Language classes. We have been working with CNM with their Workforce Literacy Program. We get a few tutors from them, but recently not only have we been loosing tutors,we have not been able to get new ones. The tutors we get are volunteers and we understand their circumstances change and may need to leave us. The tutors who have worked with us have been real supportive and really like our program and what SCC is about. Right now we are in need of at least two ESL tutor volunteers and that's why I'm sending this message. Hopefully some retired teachers may read this message and have time available to share with the community. If there an interest please send an e-mail. You can find out more about us through our website www.southwestcreations.com
>>> I would think that anyone who has a talent and a Good Police Record should be allowed to volunteer their time for our kids it shouldnt be limited to just Teachers who are probably tired of teaching. Example.... People who can play instrumments Musicians,Drummers Painters Artist or who have some talent in some field to interest our kids in wanting to learn or Read or Talk Spanish. The Mexican Kids know Spanish probably as well or better then College Spanish Professors. >>>> My Grandfather who never learned to read or write or talk in English but was Very Intellient and knew animals better then most use to tell me about College Graduates when one would come around.
