“Access to ESOL classes
empowers immigrants to
become active members of
their communities by enabling them to seek new employment, pursue an education, become civically engaged, or launch an innovation. When we open doors for these individuals, we directly benefit our entire community.”

“ESOL makes a significant impact on all aspects of life. Having English language skills can allow a family to build generational wealth, get an education and can insure you receive proper medical care. I feel ESOL is a key tool to level the playing field in a city with
so much inequity.”
