Student volunteers needed to participate in a partnership with the Amigos Sin Fronteras (ASF) project founded by Isabella Amaro Varas '23. ASF connects refugee populations in Mexico with English-language resources. Now that Isa has begun her Watson Fellowship year, we hope to keep the ASF program alive through a sustainable programmatic connection with the College.
Language Exchange Program: This semester’s goal is to link Conn students of at least intermediate-level Spanish language proficiency with English language learners from a refugee/forced displacement background who are living in Mexico. Once the pairing is established, the partners would meet once a week for about 40 minutes, speaking for half the time in English and half in Spanish. Interested Conn students will be paired with ESL learners and will receive basic training and preparation from ASF volunteers. Staff in the Walter Commons and the Academic Resource Center will also provide support to the program. In the future, we hope to build on this model to include student-led online ESL courses.
