Volunteer
Global Language Project is always looking for volunteers to help with our programs. Here are some ways in which you can get involved:
Language Exploration Guides:
Professionals go directly into the classroom or host a field trip to share their global experiences (language and culture) with our students. This provides an opportunity for students to explore and learn more about the real-world rewards and benefits of knowing a second language. Please contact asantos@glpny.org to see how we can tailor this opportunity to you.
Different models include:- Mentoring: Provide motivation to students through serving as a mentor at one of our partner schools in New York.
- Guest speaking: Volunteer to serve as a guest speaker for one of our classes.
- Workshops: Prepare a cultural workshop to actively engage students in the target culture (this can be a one day-10 week event).
