Seeking student volunteers to serve as conversation partners during a fun and festive Game Day! Nashville is home to newcomers from many countries. Transitioning to a new community is difficult, and the inability to communicate makes it even harder. The Branch's ESL program teaches adult learners to speak and write competently in English, so they can be confident when seeking employment, helping their children in school, and performing daily chores in their new homeland.
The Game Day is a fun way for The Branch students to practice English.
“I keep saying that my experiences at The Branch made my heart full; I had such a wonderful time working with the students and learning about how their cultural backgrounds are different from my own. This was by far one of the most fulfilling service opportunities I’ve participated in a long time.” (Student response)
