Kevin
Kevin recently completed his degree in Linguistics from UBC and he came to us at Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House around 2 months ago. He first started volunteering in the tutoring program where he started working with a refugee one-on-one from Nigeria in order to help improve his English. Ultimately, he feels like working one-on-one with participants will help him in the future, as he wants to pursue a career in English education.
Further, Kevin is now volunteering in the English Conversation Club where we have around 15 participants who join us every Wednesday from 10:30am-12:30pm. It's a great opportunity for folks to interact with one another and improve their conversational skills. Kevin has had the opportunity to facilitate a class already where he taught a class on Discover Canada which is a handy resource tool for people who want to obtain their permanent residency card. So far, he has really been enjoying his time here and he believes there really is a sense of family while working here.
He feels like he is gaining the confidence to be successful in the future because he is actually getting the opportunity to teach others. He feels fulfilled in his work with the participants and more than anything else, he highly recommends MPNH for anyone who is interested in volunteering with us.
