Would you like to provide assistance for asylum seekers by helping them improve their English?

Jika Jika Community Centre requires volunteers to provide English as Another Language tutoring for asylum seekers living in Preston or Brunswick.

You will be expected to be available 2 hours every week during office hours, with a preferred minimum of 6-12 month commitment. Days and time will be negotiated between volunteers and staff at a later stage.

Volunteers will be required to undertake the AMES Volunteer Tutor Training Program unless they have existing teaching experience or qualifications (and therefore can start immediately).

Training will be held on the 6th of December 2014, from 10am until 3:30pm at Jika Jika in Northcote. If you are unable to make this day, training will be provided at AMES. Tutoring will begin at the start of 2015 and you will be working either one on one or in small groups.
