Opportunity for Cultural enrichment in Rockland, Maine. For three weeks every July and August, Penobscot School hosts adult students (ages 18-55 with 35 years as average) from around the world and the US who want to improve their English language skills. This year we have students from Italy, Japan, Niger, Vietnam, Colombia, and other countries who will study English July 4 - 25 or August 1 - 22. During this time, we will need volunteers to help with post dinner transportation to host families, primarily in Rockland, Rockport, Camden, and Thomaston, as well as help with grocery shopping and dinner preparation on specific evenings in partnership with the students. Volunteers create a dinner menu with 2 students and a shopping list. Menu planning, shopping and preparation are all part of the English immersion program. Dinners are served at 6:30 and transportation to host families needed around 8PM. Grocery shopping can be done with the 2 students at noon or 4:00 pm to allow time for meal preparation or prior to the dinner day. Volunteers are also needed as conversation partners, and for afternoon, evening or weekend activities with the students. Students have a variety of interests and they are always eager to make new friends who will introduce them to the joys of living in mid coast Maine. The school's English program depends on the generosity of volunteers and could not happen without their help.
