Eliminating the barriers to English language literacy to enable social and economic opportunity
Our Mission
Language is critical to a secure an independent life. English Language Learners In-Home Program’s mission is to eliminate the barriers to social and economic opportunity for immigrants, refugees, and non-native English speakers.

Since February 2004, our volunteer tutors have assisted more than 7,000 adult learners in becoming more secure and independent by learning to speak, read, write and understand English.
