Volunteer Opportunity at Saturday ESL School with Burmese kids in South Philly!!

The US Campaign for Burma, Philadelphia Chapter has identified a need to teach English and tutor Burmese refugee children who have been relocated to South Philadelphia. Children vary in ages and some speak very little English, but all are very eager to learn. Some have been in the United States for only several months, so teaching should incorporate use of pictures & body language, as well as cultural education about food, holidays, geography, etc. It's a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in helping and making a difference in people's lives who are struggling to make a new in America.



Please be sure to view our site: ESL School: Refugee Education Partners!

Ideally, we are looking for volunteers who can commit 2-3 hrs on Saturday, at least once per month so that the children can develop a rapport with you. If you have time constraints and can only volunteer once, we are happy to have you too!


If you are unable to volunteer, but would still like to help, we appreciate donations of school supplies, books, educational materials, English Language learning games.

For more information and to sign-up, please contact Kim Leichtner via email at kim.leichtner@gmail.com or by phone at 267-687-1740.
