One of our goals at Casa is to build a relationship with families that have children in our afterschool program.  To that extent, our Education Department recently launched a parent ESL program led by our parent liaison, Jennifer Braga, and volunteer students from Muhlenberg  College.

The parents meet each Tuesday at Casa to learn English. The program helps increase English fluency among the parents and builds the relationships that helps Casa help the students. The ESL class has been very successful in bringing parents to Casa.  Our class is full!

We have had many requests for an ESL program open to all of our Spanish speaking clients.  At this time we do not have the resources to open it to everyone, however, we are pursuing grants for this purpose and, if successful, we will open additional ESL classes for our clients.
