Wanted Volunteers 

• Basic Computer Skills Instructor—This is our new community ministry, which will involve teaching basic computer skills to adults who have no knowledge or experience in the use of computers. Instructors must be capable of explaining and demonstrating basic computer concepts (use of keyboard and mouse, Windows commands, creating documents and files, word processing, etc.) and basic use of internet (researching information, email, downloading files, etc). You do not need to be a computer wiz to help! Classes will be offered in the evening. However, if you are interested in volunteering at any other time we can set you up with students at almost any hour. If you are interested in helping please call our church office at 247-2929.
• Tutors—The tutoring program is seeking to expand to help more children, Hispanic and non-Hispanic, who may need assistance with homework or basic skills. Our program is open to children in grades 1 to 6; they bring their own books and materials. You do not have to be a trained teacher to help, but you must love children and be willing to invest of your time to help them overcome their limitations. Volunteers are asked to donate one (1) hour a week, either on Tuesday or Thursday, from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. However, we promise not to turn down anyone who wishes to volunteer for more hours! Even though at this time dates have not been set, our program should begin at the end of August and run through the first two weeks in December, with the school year. For more information please contact Frances Irizarry at the FBC Ministries Building office at 247-2929.
• ESL Teachers—After a short break, we are starting our ESL classes back this fall. Almost anyone who speaks English—even Kentuckian English—can help. No Spanish required. A short basic training is available for new volunteers and for those who have taught but have not taken the training before. Classes are offered Tuesday and Thursday night from 6:30 to 7:30 PM; each session runs for 10 weeks. We ask that our volunteers commit to at least one hour a week; however, anyone willing to commit for two hours a week will not be turned away! Books and materials are provided. This is one of our most successful ministries in reaching out to the Hispanic community. For more information please contact Frances Irizarry at the FBC Ministries Building office at 247-2929.
