Empowering our community with CPL’s ESL CLASSES 📚

We started teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) classes to local hospitality workers in NYC in 2022 and we are excited to continue this initiative! We believe that language skills are vital for personal growth and empowerment and we will soon be starting our second term of 2025.

Our volunteers make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals who often face language barriers. By teaching English, they provide them with essential tools to communicate effectively, gain confidence, and unlock new opportunities. No prior teaching experience is required—just a passion for helping others and a willingness to share your knowledge. We currently hold in-person weekend classes at La Contenta Oeste Restaurant and adding La Diaspora as an additional location in Manhattan, NY.

We currently have all volunteer positions filled. However, please feel free to sign up or learn more about this rewarding opportunity by clicking the button below. If an ESL volunteer position opens up, we will make sure to reach out to you regarding avilability.
