Volunteer Opportunity
Improve your Spanish & Help your community!
Are you interested in grassroots community education? Do you speak Spanish and want to improve your language skills while supporting the local immigrant community? A beginning computer literacy class meets every Thursday in Shelton and seeks to empower Spanish speaking community members through teaching and improving upon the computer skills necessary to actively engage with the world. This includes basic keyboard and mouse practice, internet searching, email, and various other activities requested by learners. We are looking for one or two dedicated volunteers to assist in facilitating this open-ended class. Ideally, they can commit to weekly Thursday evening classes through the summer. Carpooling options from Olympia are available.
If you’re interested and would like more information, please contact Andrew at Mason County Literacy
at 360.426.9733 or atrump[at]masoncountyliteracy.org.

Olympia Spanish Conversation Meetup
"Casual, fun, relaxing events for getting together and practicing your Spanish—maybe never quite "perfecting" it, but getting just a little bit better each time, while meeting fun, kind, and interesting people (people like you!). Native Spanish speakers who would enjoy helping people learn their language are also welcome!! If you really enjoy using your Spanish, and enjoy meeting other people who like Spanish as much as you do, we would love to have you join us.
We meet on the first and third Mondays of each month, because your weekend is probably already busy, and having something to look forward to on Monday just allows that weekend feeling to last one day longer!"
Location:
Varies. See the Olympia Spanish Conversation Meetup web page.
