Volunteer English Program (VEP)
The Volunteer English Program's mission is to connect community-wide volunteers with adult English Language Learners to provide one-to-one tutoring and cultural enrichment that empowers immigrants to be successful within our communities. Non-native English speaking immigrants and refugees living and working throughout Chester County are seeking someone like you to personalize their English language instruction and provide American cultural guidance. Tutors and students alike are adults who represent all ages, backgrounds, and interests. These partnerships open doors to many life-changing opportunities for each individual. For more information about the program and the tutor experience, please visit our website, volunteerenglish.org, or call the VEP office at 610-918-8222 ext. 2.
