ABOUT US

THE PROGRAM

The English Language Learning Classes are part of the Languages for Peace Program of the non-faith-based nonprofit International Education Peace Volunteers. It is made up of a group of international scholars and students, immigrants, refugees, international visitors, and American citizens from local communities.  They work together to help one another grow in English fluency, explore various cultures, develop intercultural capacities for peacebuilding, and grow lasting friendships. We offer FREE ELL and intercultural learning opportunities to adults and host multiple events throughout the year. Our classes are located at the Intown Coffeehouse or inside the community center classrooms of Intown Community Church in Atlanta. 

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to facilitate intercultural learning through relationships. We are all learning. We welcome adults of all ages from all national, ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds to join and be a part of our community of learning and friendship.

 

We focus on providing English language learning help to immigrants, refugees, international students and scholars, and adult family members of those groups. We also focus on providing opportunities for Americans and our visitors from other countries to help one another increase cultural awareness, develop intercultural communication skills, and adopt peacebuilding perspectives.

Our hope is for all participants from the USA and other countries to grow in cultural humility and to carry improved English language and intercultural communication skills to various settings. We also hope to establish relationships that will give all participants a sense of belonging, and foster a deep web of community. We also hope that participants from all national, cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds will help one another.
