The Legacy Center for Community Success in Midland, Michigan, believes everyone deserves a chance to succeed. Our programs help learners develop specific skills and build individual confidence. We foster a love of learning and community relationships based on grit, enthusiasm, and perseverance.
The English as a Second Language program serves adults whose first language is not English. Learners are trying to build conversational skills, community relationships, or English proficiency for professional certification. We offer high-quality, one-on-one tutoring in one two-hour session per week, year-round. Any learner who qualifies for our program is accepted, regardless of their ability to pay for services. We gather baseline data both internally and externally to measure the impact of tutoring. When learners accomplish their goal, we celebrate, and the learner graduates from our program.
Volunteer tutors meet with one learner two hours a week. Twelve hours of training are provided as well as all tutoring materials. Volunteers must complete a background check. A one-year commitment is preferred.
