My Nonprofit Reviews

This is my second year volunteering in the Opening Word Program in South Huntington. As a former teacher, I am truly inspired by the Director and Lead Teachers that invest so much of their time and enthusiasm each day with women who are highly motivated to learn English, despite everyday challenges. Lessons are geared to having the students meet with success in speaking and understanding English, writing for a purpose and becoming familiar with grammatically correct dialogues and everyday communication. Technology is becoming a more critical and exciting approach to their learning. Outside
nutritional programs are being incorporated. The materials used are current, leveled and consecutive in ability throughout each of the classes . Teachers have time to collaborate on the most effective approaches and never stop trying new material that may determine a positive effect in the students learning styles. It is truly a pleasure and honor to be an integral part of this very personal and inspiring program-The Opening Word.
