Dreaming of a place to look for work with dignity

Bienvendia a Guadalupe!

This month we had the pleasure of welcoming a wonderful new addition to our team, our new Employment Coordinator, Guadalupe!  She comes to us by way of CASA de Maryland, a great organization we have worked with a lot over the years.  We are so excited to have her on staff with us, and are having fun hearing her new ideas and seeing her get to know everyone. 

On her first day of work, everyone in the Center threw her a little 'Homecoming Party'.  Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy, and feel free to stop by the Center to say hi and introduce yourself!

Hiking, anyone?

We just wanted to share with you some of the fun ways our ESL classes get to practice their English!  Especially during the winter the classes spend a lot of time studying and working hard in the classroom, so when the summer comes, they love to get out and practice English in real life and new situations.   The beginning of August brought the classes to the top of Little Mount Si for a day hike.  Enjoy some pictures below!
