Adult refugees need to learn English if they are to succeed in their new home. Seriously consider volunteering as part of this initiative, and if you cannot do so, to pass the information along to family and friends who might be interested.


An informational session regarding the ONA initiative will take place this Friday, February 15th, 2-3 pm at the Albany Public Library Main Branch, (second floor) for people who may be interested in volunteering. At this meeting Melody Nadeau, Program Director for the new Office for New Americans (ONA) initiative, will present information on what this initiative will mean for adult refugees who are seeking to learn English and/or are ready to apply for citizenship.She will take information from potential volunteers in hopes that  some new Adult ESOL classes can start very soon.  See the attached flyer for more information.
ONA is being led by Literacy New York of the Greater Capital Region (LNY).
