At Project SHINE, college students build intergenerational friendships as tutors and coaches working in small groups, working one-on-one with older immigrants or helping in ESL classes.
Students volunteer at least 20 hours per semester, and in return cultivate a greater understanding of different cultures - as well as their own. Students also develop a deeper appreciation for the meaning and process of citizenship and gain understanding about aging and diversity within the United States.
Student Opportunities:
- Teaching
- Facilitate an ESL class
- Coach with an ESL class with an established instructor
- Volunteering
- represent SHINE at community events
- coordintate site activites with community partners
- help with special projects and initiatives
- engage in photography, audio/video, or written documentation of SHINE and community partners
If you are financially eligible for work-study, these opportunities may qualify as work-study during any given semester. However, please note that work study opportunities vary from site to site and may not always be available.
