The Welcome Network is a nonprofit in West Bend that welcomes and supports newcomers with language challenges to the West Bend area. One of the keys to their success is learning English. We know that reading books to kids is one of the richest ways we can impart language knowledge. So, you lend your voice, and love for books to kids whose parents can't read in English to them.
We provide this service in partnership with the West Bend School District. Parents in bilingual households attend a training held by the Multi-lingual Family Services team. Down the hall, we provide children in bi-lingual households Fluent English Native Speaker Reading opportunities.
If you can read in English, you are qualified!
This opportunity begins in January for 10 weeks on Thursdays from 6-7:30 pm. and then continues on Thursdays at the same time for 9 more weeks. If you respond to this volunteer experience you will be sent another form to choose the weeks you are available!
The location will most likely be Green Tree School. This will be updated soon.
