English For Speakers Of Other Languages
Agency Details:
To teach English to speakers of other languages to increase self-sufficiency.
History:
The English as a Second Language program initiated in 1978, in which it served permanent residents, refugees, temporary visa students and amnesty students. Originally most of the people that were being served were refugees that left their country to get away from communism and war.
In the last 10 years the demographics in Provo City and Utah Valley have changed. We have experienced a 400 % increment of immigrants in our communities, mostly from Latin America. Therefore, our services have changed. We are offering ESL classes days and evenings in various schools throughout the Provo School District, in which we offer childcare with certain evening classes. Our classes are spread throughout Provo City in some elementary schools, 1 middle schools, Provo City Library, and Centro Hispano who provide space for ESL classes at their buildings. Our program is not longer authorized to issue I-20 visas or any other kind of visas. Our focus has now become the community; this program offers services to members of our community and other neighboring cities.
