Join us at Casa San Jose as a volunteer English teacher for adult
immigrants!
Casa San Jose is a non-profit serving the Latino community in Pittsburgh and
surrounding areas and it offers adult English as a Second Language (ESL)
classes to Spanish-speaking adults, 18+, in Allegheny and Beaver Counties in
four evenings a week, 7:00 to 8:30pm. Classes are offered in East Liberty, Penn
Hills, Mount Lebanon and Ambridge (in Beaver County).
As a volunteer, you can do 1 to 2 nights per week in one of our locations
that is closest to you. Casa San Jose offers three sessions a year: a Spring
session from January to May, Summer session in June and July, and a Fall
session from Sept. to November, with no classes in December.
Stay with us for just one season, or stay as long as you like!
While previous teaching / ESL experience is not required,
it's always welcomed! You will be able to observe classes
before deciding if you'd like to volunteer with us. You may choose to co-teach
a class with another volunteer or teach on your own one to two nights a
week.
Knowledge of Spanish is also not required, but of course,
it's welcomed! It's certainly helpful to know some basic Spanish (or
Portuguese) when teaching the beginner level, but it's absolutely possible to
teach it without.
If you express interest in this opportunity, Trisha Powell, ESL Coordinator,
will reach out to you to set up a brief one-on-one meeting on Zoom to learn
more.

Mission Statement
Casa San Jose connects, supports, and advocates with and for the Latino Community.
Description
In 2013, The Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden opened a resource center for Latinos and named it Casa San José (House of St. Joseph). The Sisters created Casa San Jose as a nonprofit 501c3 with an independent board of directors in 2014. It currently has a staff of 24 people, three Sisters of St. Joseph, and more than a 100 active volunteers. This welcome center was opened to support the ongoing and important work of Sister Janice Vanderneck, who has worked with the Latino community in the Pittsburgh region for 20 years. Her vision has been to create a community center for Latinos and to deliver the services that are needed as Pittsburgh attracts more and more Latinos to the Pittsburgh region. Her countless hours of support and commitment over many years has culminated with the founding of Casa San José as the trustworthy, go-to source of support to help underserved Latino immigrants access the assistance and services they need.
It serves as a base of support for the Latino community where we provide a variety of resources such as weekly clinics, food pantries, Adult English as a Second Language classes, summer camps, community meetings, Know Your Rights sessions, and much more.
