SEA Literacy works one-on-one with refugee students who have a strong desire to improve English language skills, along with helping them complete homework assignments. Students range from Kindergarten to University levels. Volunteers have a sensitivity to cultural differences, in addition to patience, understanding and fluency.
Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak, listen and to be able to use numbers and technology. At SEA Literacy, we want our refugee students to express and understand ideas and opinions, to make decisions and achieve their goals, and become successful members of our community.
Cross-cultural mentoring involves an ongoing, intentional, and mutually enriching relationship with someone of a different race, gender, ethnicity, religion, cultural background, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, or nationality.
