The ELC offers English classes for newly arrived refugees and immigrants. We use a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to ensure our students thrive in their new community.

The ELC hosts resettlement agencies to provide educational opportunites about job readiness, cultural awareness, and financial literacy. We also welcome community partners such as the Boise Police Department to give presentations to newcomers so our students can start building their community knowledge and resources.

The ELC loves to welcome volunteers into our classes to support our students’ learning and build their community connections.
