GROW Conversation Cafés
English is an essential tool to build relationships and earn an income here in America. GROW provides ESL (English as a Second Language) classes for immigrants in Philadelphia. These English classes help adult immigrants develop more than just the practical skill of English, they cultivate friendships and connections, supporting immigrant families to succeed in their communities. Once a month these adult English Language Learners (ELL) practice their English in the Conversation Cafés. These are held in Northeast Philadelphia one morning and one evening a month. Volunteers are paired with a small group of ELL students and given suggested topics to discuss. If you have any questions or are interested in using your skill of English to gain cross cultural experience and develop relationships with our immigrant neighbors, please contact Gwen Rapp. Gwen.Rapp@worldteam.org
