English Empowerment Center

EEC offers in-person and online Beginning English classes, Family Learning Programs (FLP), Skills-based classes, and Destination Workforce classes. The classroom-based programs provide instruction in a workplace and life-skills context. FLP curriculum emphasizes the needs of parents with school-aged children, engaging families in activities that help parents develop their English and reinforce what their children are learning in school. Skills-based classes help fill learning gaps by focusing on single areas such as writing or conversation.

Destination Workforce, EEC's workplace program, offers classes in partnership with local businesses and organizations where English Language Learners can learn industry-specific vocabulary skills, workplace soft-skills, and earn credentials to help them advance in their careers.

EEC Volunteers play a central role in service delivery. EEC provides instructor training 3 times a year with academic rigor that ensures all teachers, class aides, and supplemental tutors are qualified in today's best practices for adult learning and second language acquisition in its instruction.
