Family Literacy English Language Instructor
 
 
 
World Relief Seattle is the largest refugee resettlement agency in Western Washington and has been serving refugees and other vulnerable immigrants in the Seattle area since 1979. Refugees and immigrants bravely leave behind everything familiar to seek safety, a life free from fear, and the chance for a new start. At World Relief Seattle, we come alongside these new neighbors by providing support and care through their first months and years of transition. This support includes case management, orientation to American culture and systems, job placement assistance, English language classes, skills development classes, housing assistance, immigration legal services, youth programming, mutually-transformative relationships with community volunteers, and more. World Relief Seattle envisions every refugee and vulnerable immigrant welcomed by community, rooted in community, and empowered for community. Our work is informed by the belief that every refugee and vulnerable immigrant has an important place in our community. From the time of arrival to the first job to citizenship and beyond, the World Relief community is committed to serving and being served by this brave and resilient population. AmeriCorps members serving at World Relief Seattle play valuable roles on our English, Employment, Health & Wellness, and Resiliency teams by enhancing our ability to provide robust and tailored services to our participants and to provide expanded support and training to our volunteers. This particular AmeriCorps member will serve alongside our ESL team as they partner with language learners to build their confidence and skills in English communication to enable them to function and thrive in their new American context. All AmeriCorps positions are contingent on continued funding from the federal funding source CNCS (AmeriCorps Program).

Member Duties : The Family Literacy English Language Instructor will adapt World Relief's existing curriculum and combine it with other resources to develop and teach English language classes tailored for parents and young children to learn together through play, songs, games, art, stories, and other activities. These classes will serve refugee and immigrant parents by strengthening their English language skills, equipping them to practice kindergarten-readiness skills with their children at home, and empowering them to be their children’s first educators. This instructor will also welcome and orient new students, recruit, train, and manage volunteer class assistants and in-home tutors, develop and improve curriculum, differentiate instruction for students at different skill levels, maintain student records, measure outputs and outcomes, and assist with the functioning of the ESL and volunteer programs.
