Young Adult English as a Second Language

For teens whose first language is not English

Program Description

During the summer, we provide ESL classes to all teens whose first language is not English. 

High-quality teachers, tutors, and classroom materials are free to all students. 

Over the past few years, we have experienced explosive growth in our immigrant population in Washington County and, as a result, in our ESL enrollments. The Literacy Council of Southwestern PA offers teens with little to no English a jump-start in their language skills before school starts in the fall.
