Read an interview with HECC Volunteer Pete Howlett.<\/p>\n

1. What is your volunteer role at Howard and Evanston Community Center? <\/strong>
\nI currently assist in an ESL class Monday-Thursday in the mornings. I sometimes tutor students with citizenship and also tutor students individually. I have also participated in the HARP reading program at a local elementary school, and I plan on continuing with all this!<\/p>\n

2. What do you do in these roles? <\/strong>
\nI help students learn English. I work in small groups with students, I help with reading groups and also with speaking practice, comprehension, etc. In the HARP program, I work with one student throughout the academic year to help develop reading skills.<\/p>\n

3. How long have you volunteered with HACC? <\/strong>
\nI have volunteered for about 3-4 years.<\/p>\n

4. What do you like about volunteering in this way? <\/strong>
\nI like to be able to assist non-native speakers to participate in our society and be productive members of their community.<\/p>\n

5. You volunteer a lot with us, so what are your thoughts on what you would like to see in the future of HACC? <\/strong>
\nI would love to see HECC more involved with the community and attract more clients.<\/p>\n

6. What advice would you give someone who is interested in getting involved with tutoring or volunteering? <\/strong>
\nI would say don\u2019t hesitate, just come on in! We need you, and we want your support!<\/p>\n

Thank YOU, Peter, for all you do!<\/em><\/p>\n
