Volunteering Training Course (English Conversation Clubs)
This opportunity is open to anyone, of any age or background, who would like to and has the time to volunteer to run informal English Conversation Clubs for non-English speaking adults in the borough of Waltham Forest. We have clubs currently running in schools, children's centres, places of worship and community centres.
You need to have excellent communication skills, an ability to get on with a diverse group of people and be able to commit to supporting an English Conversation Club after the course finishes. As the course is accredited at Level 2 and you will be building up a portfolio of work, you need to be able to write confidently.
This course is accredited by Gateway and you will be working towards a Level 2 Award in Peer Mentoring.
