I am fortunate that I have been able to have the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world through teaching English to adults who do not speak or need to improve their skills in English. I have had the privilege of working with students (and co-workers) of various cultures, faiths, races, and backgrounds. A good way to get involved is by volunteering in an ESL classroom. Many churches and community organizations, as well as schools, offer ESL classes to adults. In addition, there are organizations in Charlotte who provide services to diverse populations including immigrants, refugees, children, and others who need various types of assistance. They are always looking for volunteers. This is a great way to meet, interact with, and learn more about other cultures that are living right here in Charlotte! They are eager to meet you and have much to teach us!
