2. Volunteer at the Cafe by sitting and talking with the ESL students. Two volunteers are requested every 30 minutes. That will be eight volunteers total.

You are, of course, welcome to stay for the whole morning as well. {This is the advice from Kelda Brenny (the one in charge of Cafe Americana) – when visiting with the students, ask good, simple questions and encourage each person at the table to offer a short answer. It’s a chance for these students to practice good English and hear it from the volunteers.}
