English in the Wild is launching September 9!

We’re inviting Spanish-speaking immigrants who already know some English to join us for an opportunity to become confident, capable English speakers through serious reading, discussion, and conversation.

We will read and discuss literature, history, poetry, and other interesting texts, with conversation at the center of everything we do. By the end of the program, our goal is for every participant to be able to tell his or her own story in English: where you come from, what you have done, what you know, what you hope to do, and what you can contribute.

The goal is to give participants the confidence and fluency to use English where it counts: in job interviews, at work, in relationships, and in the larger community.

Each participant will also be paired with a mentor who will accompany them through the program, help them stay on track, and encourage them as they work toward their personal and professional goals.

STARTS: Wednesday, September 9
MEETS: Every Wednesday, 7–9 p.m., through Christmas
LOCATION: The Dream Room at the MLK Center in South Bend

If you or someone you know might be interested, reach out to me at [email protected].
Please share. We would love to fill the room!

Project Dignity is developing English in the Wild, a conversation-based program that connects English learning with participants’ work and career goals.

We are looking for mentors to practice conversation, explore career options, and help participants take practical steps forward. Speaking another language is helpful, but not necessary.

Please take a look at the latest blog post on our Project Dignity website.

Once refugees begin forming genuine friendships here, those relationships tend to last. They do not replace the homes people left behind. Nothing can do that. But they begin to approximate something many people thought they had lost when they came here: a community where they are known and where the
