The Municipality of Castelvetrano and its mayor, Mr. Alfano Enzo are our host partners in this community of 31,000. Other members of our host organization include Giovanni Parrino, a member of the City Council who is councilor for social policies, and Patrick Cirrincione, The President of the Castelvetrano City Council.
Conversational English will be the initial community work project. As in all of Europe, English is becoming an increasingly important tool in Sicily. There are few opportunities to learn from native English speakers in the non-tourist areas of the country and thus the Castelvetrano officials are delighted by this opportunity. You will work with students and young adults who are interested in learning and expanding their English capability.
The focus of the conversational English program is the students. Most young people have studied English in school, but few have the opportunity to practice with native English speakers. You can serve as a valuable resource to these young adults by providing your time and dedication.
