ADVOCACY, LANGUAGE AND CITIZENSHIP TRAINING
A primary mechanism for addressing those needs is our Advocacy, Language and Citizen Training Class and the Immigration, Translation Document Preparation and Emergancy Assistance Program that started with a grant from The Presbyterian Committee on the Self Development of People.
In addition, for 2 hours a week for 30 weeks a year, a bilingual French/English Instructor instructs a class of 15 children with limited English piano and music lessons. The parents of these children who are ESL learners themselves had requested the music class.
The First Presbyterian Church in Hudson, NY offers in-kind instrument/piano, space for ESL, Music classes, Cultural events and other functions. Funding for a center for this project is also being sought.
