| MIT ESL Call For Volunteers |
| CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS |
The MIT English as a Second Language Program for Service Employees is looking for volunteers to connect with day and night shift service employees over the phone for one hour/week, helping them improve their English skills through informal conversations or ESL coursework via virtual learning (there may be instances where in-person classes may take place). No experience is required, just a good command of English, a smartphone, and an interest in helping individuals whose first language is not English. The goals of the program are to build students' confidence, to help them become more productive in their jobs, and to open up further opportunities for advancement. These classes take place at various times during the day and from 11:00 – midnight either virtually or in-person.
This is an opportunity to make a real and positive difference.
Please contact esl-admins@mit.edu |

| Know Your Resources! |
|
You shouldn’t have to think about where to turn for help. Just ask. Leave a question and a Student Support and Wellbeing team member will get back to you within 1 business day.
DoingWell was developed to empower students to prioritize their wellbeing. Prioritizing your wellbeing is a journey that looks different for everyone and what works for you one day might need to change another day. What’s most important is that it’s what YOU need. Sometimes, DoingWell means reaching out for support because you’re not feeling good or need help. Other times, DoingWell means going for your weekly run or writing in your journal. This website serves as a place for all MIT students – undergraduate and graduate – to access resources that help you prioritize your wellbeing and get support. |
