Volunteering As A Way Of Reconnecting After A Year Of Social Distancing

2020 has been the year of social distancing, and while working from home and not interacting with friends and family has helped stall the spread of a dangerous virus, it has also helped the spread of social and emotional disconnect from our community. As a result we all now struggle with face-to-face social interactions which are vital for our mental health and benefit the local communities greatly.

If you are one of those people that craves human interaction in a safe and productive environment, then volunteering for Project Light Of Manatee might just be the best thing you do in 2021. Volunteers at Project light offer English classes to non-English speaking American residents in order to help them better integrate in their communities, find new work opportunities and improve relationships with family.

As a volunteer English teacher, you get the benefit of building connections, learning about new cultures and languages, as well as making a significant difference in people's lives. But don’t take our word for it, there are studies that show that volunteering helps individuals feel less isolated and it improves overall well-being by creating much needed human connection.

So as we heal from the 2020 isolation pandemic why not start by giving back to your community and volunteer to share your knowledge of the English language.

Giving Tuesday

Project Light Language School would like to thank everyone who gave to #givingtuesday. You have no idea how this will impact our adult students. It allows us to keep offering quality instruction in English on several different levels, from Basic to Level 4! It is an exciting time when we can offer all of these to our students. On top of that, we can offer computer courses as well as citizenship courses.

But Project Light is always growing and we can continue to do that. We feel that if our adult students can't get to us, we will come to them. So now we are looking at sites in the community where we can bring the courses to you! How exciting is that. We look forward to 2022 and what it will bring.

Once again, thank you to all of you that support this great school.
