English Language Class Volunteer Discusses the Valuable Connections Made in the Classroom
Nadia began volunteering with GGP in January of 2022 while our English classes were still offered remotely. She continues to volunteer in the very same English Class all these years later, supporting our CLB 6-7 students every Saturday, now in-person, with our English teacher, Charlene.
GGP Volunteer Found Us by Chance
Dennis first began volunteering with GGP by chance. Our Main Office was on the route of his regular walking path, and he says that as he passed GGP, “I would think to myself, I should walk in and volunteer here. After a while, on one of my morning walks, I had that same thought, and I turned and walked into the office and asked about volunteering. It all started from there.”
