The Cultures Together Project has been designed to match our English as a Second Language students  with a language mentor, to provide opportunities for conversational English practice, develop cross cultural understanding between them and potentially develop ongoing friendships.

Your mentee may have lived in Australia a long time, may be a new arrival or a temporary resident while their children, themselves or their spouse are attending educational instiutions here.

The role of language mentors in the Cultures Together Project is to:

  • Build meaningful relationships with people from members of our culturally and linguistically diverse community.
  • Work one on one with your paired learner using structured language activities.

Time Commitment & Schedule:

We ask you to commit to work together for around a term once a week. But this can vary from pair to pair.

Requirements:

  • Genuine interest in  learning about and working with people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
  • Reliable, responsible, flexible and able to take direction.
  • Patient and enthusiastic.
  • Willing to adhere to KNLC’s volunteer and workplace policies.
  • Willing to learn about KNLC’s philosophy and principles of adult learning.
