Thanks to a grant from the Doug and Maria DeVos Foundation, the
Literacy Center of West Michigan will be adding a new position that will be responsible for strengthening existing ESL (English as a Second Language) programs and developing new, clergy-focused ESL programs.
According to Shay Kraley, coordinator of the Family Literacy Program, the Iglesias de Esperanza Coordinator position will have two main purposes. "First, the individual will be overseeing and providing support to existing ESL programs. The second part will be actual instruction to Hispanic clergy."
Kraley explains that this new position will eventually help the clergy in the Hispanic churches to extend their influence and connect to the greater community.
Among the requirements are experience in teaching ESL for adults and being bi-lingual in Spanish. Equally important will be relationship building skills.
