February – Emerson’s English as a Second Language (ESL) Program
The program was created in 2014 to serve the fast-growing immigrant population of Houston. Houston is home to an estimated 2 million immigrants which represents almost one-quarter of the metropolitan population. We have served students from all over the globe speaking 12 different languages. Currently ESL has four levels of classes to offer on Tuesday and Thursday nights. There is no cost for students to participate in the program and the teachers are all volunteers. Your donation will help us buy textbooks, supplies, and continue to pay for our part-time Program Coordinator, Patty Ryan.
