I started volunteering at the beginning of this year with 2 different clients all virtually through WhatsApp and Zoom, each an hour per week. Volunteering with this organization has truly been a very rewarding experience and one that I hope to continue working with into the foreseeable future. I love the incredibly diverse community this organization serves and the amazing resources it provides to both the clients and the volunteers.
My advice to new volunteers interested in English tutoring is to have patience, dedication, and always be your student’s number one supporter!

Like the majority of Americans, my family has immigrant origins. I found that welcoming new neighbors to our community, be they refugee or immigrant, was a wonderful way to "pay it forward" and show how welcoming the greater Richmond area truly is.

It’s been almost a year since I sat down in Zainab’s home for the very first time to teach English. In that “almost” year we have shared so many confused looks, laughs, family video calls, and hugs. In that “almost” year we have learned so much about each other through Google images, small sentences, and scrapbooks. You see, it’s not just about teaching – it’s about creating a comfortable and safe space that enables learning to happen more openly.
