Tutor English to Refugees and Immigrants Job at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI

  • Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee
  • Milwaukee, WI

Job Description

Many refugees and immigrants in our community face barriers to accessing traditional English language learning classes such as limited transportation and childcare options. As a result, they struggle to communicate, navigate their daily lives, and build meaningful connections, further isolating them from their new community.

But together, we can help change that. By providing one-on-one tutoring within their homes, we can break down these barriers and offer refugees and immigrants the support they need to learn English in a comfortable, supportive environment. With your help, these individuals can gain the skills they need to thrive, better integrate into their new community, and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.

As a volunteer tutor, you can make a direct impact by helping refugees and immigrants improve their English language skills at home. Simply click RESPOND at the top of the page and SIGN UP , and within 24 business-day hours, we'll send you a link to our next information session. Once you've completed all the necessary forms, we'll provide training to equip you with the tools and resources to succeed. You'll then be matched with a refugee or immigrant learner, ready to start their language journey with your support. It’s that simple.

Without the opportunity to learn English, refugees and immigrants will continue to face challenges in everyday life. They may struggle to access essential services, find jobs, and integrate into their new environment. This isolation can lead to frustration, missed opportunities, and an inability to fully participate in their community.

But there is another way — you can help your new neighbor in need. We believe that every refugee and immigrant, regardless of their background, deserves the chance to learn, grow, and contribute. They arrive with rich cultural knowledge, skills, resilience, and experiences that strengthen our communities. By offering tutoring in a comfortable, familiar setting, we not only help them overcome language and systemic barriers — we also affirm and build upon the community cultural wealth they already possess. With the tools to communicate and connect, they can find work, build relationships, and create a stable, fulfilling life in their new home — while enriching ours in return.

Maybe you, or someone in your family know firsthand what it’s like to start over in a new country, learning a new language and adjusting to a new culture. Perhaps as a retired teacher, you already know the power of education and encouragement. Or maybe you simply care deeply about helping others and want to make a meaningful difference in your community. You have a unique opportunity to combine your skills and experience to support others on a similar path. Training sessions for new volunteers are starting soon.
