Training for English Language Tutors: Saturday, April 21.
St. Michael parish has partnered with the Livermore Public Library’s excellent and popular program to help adult parishioners improve their English skills. If you speak English, you have all the skills you need to tutor a fellow St. Michael parishioner. By helping an adult become fluent in English, you will equip them to prosper in our society. The time commitment is about two hours per week. You do NOT have to be bilingual. Interested? Call Joanne, 443-1422.
