Volunteer In-person with Immigrant Adults Working to Learn English at Goodwill of SWPA

Where there's a Goodwill, there's a way.

Goodwill is all about finding a way to make a difference in your community, no matter how big or small. It’s a way to empower yourself and others and to work together to create positive change.

When you see one of our stores in your neighborhood, you can be sure that good things are happening. Goodwill is more than just a store - we’re a community of passionate, dedicated individuals who are committed to making a difference in the lives of people in our communities.

At Goodwill Southwestern Pennsylvania, we believe that empowered individuals create thriving communities. As a leading social and human service organization in the region, we help thousands of individuals find jobs and provide education and workforce development services to those with barriers to employment.

Join us in strengthening your community and building a better world, one person at a time.

Goodwill of Southwestern PA is looking for individuals who enjoy helping others to make an impact in the adult learning community by assisting instructors in the Lawrenceville classroom, Goodwill Robert S. Foltz Building, 118 52nd Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15201.

Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to Ashley. You will fill out an application and schedule a time to meet with me, virtually or in-person, to discuss our program and the specific role you would fill, as well as the next steps of the onboarding process, including how to get your free background checks and how to complete the initial training. Having a background in English as a Second Language teaching could help but isn't required. Having a background as a K-12 reading instructor could also certainly help, though not required. If you're interested, but do not have any teaching experience, please still feel free to reach out. If you feel comfortable teaching other adults and would be comfortable working with adult English Language Learners even without any personal teaching background, please reach out!

Volunteers must have their high school diploma or high school equivalency and a desire to help adult students achieve their educational goals! Postsecondary trainings and degrees are nice, but not a requirement. We will train you. Those interested can reply to this listing or if you have any questions, please contact Ashley Reilly, Education Volunteer Coordinator by text at 412-498-0412 or by email at ashley.reilly@goodwillswpa.org
