And we miss her already!

The story of IHELP started with a vision for connecting isolated immigrant and refugee women with the wider St. Louis community. Learning English has opened the door for so many to make new connections. IHELP tutors are some of the first points of contact in this process, and we're thankful to play a part in these relationships.

In St. Louis, one way you can create a welcoming community is by becoming an IHELP volunteer. Our volunteers are people who want to ensure immigrants and refugees feel welcome in our community. Week in and week out, spend time with someone whose culture and language are different from your own, and create a space where that difference is not a barrier to connection. ihelpstl.org/volunteers
