Join our dedicated team of volunteers to help refugee children thrive! We are seeking compassionate individuals to tutor and mentor young refugees, providing academic support, guidance, and friendship as they navigate their lives in the United States.
Whether you can assist with homework, help improve language skills, or offer encouragement, your contribution will make a lasting impact on their futures. No prior tutoring experience is required-just a passion for helping others and a commitment to making a positive change.
We tutor Tuesdays from 6-8pm and Saturdays from 10-12pm at the Neighborhood House of Milwaukee. Sign up today and be a part of empowering refugee youth in our community! Visit our website for more information and to submit an application: https://www.sealmke.org

Mission Statement
SEA Literacy uplifts the lives of refugee students in the Milwaukee area by empowering them to become engaged members of this diverse, dynamic community.

Description
SEA Literacy (SEAL) provides year-round ESL lessons, homework tutoring, and recreational activities to refugee youth grades kindergarten through college. We meet on Tuesday evenings 6-8 pm and Saturdays mornings 10 am- 12 and we also go on field trips and have special events throughout the year. Children in this program attend by choice; they want to learn because they want to learn English, do better in the classroom and meet other kids. This is an advantage of volunteering here; you can see immediate improvement! SEAL focuses on helping refugee students, who have been in the US anywhere from a month to a few years, to help them be more fluent in English and more connected with peers and society. As a volunteer you will be helping the students read, learn and speak English, play games, work on STEM or art projects and/or assist them in doing their homework. If you have a skill you can teach (kids LOVE chess but need teachers, some taught knitting, etc.) we would love to work with you!
