The Greenbelt CARES program provides many free resources to the immediate Greenbelt community like counseling, education, referrals and information for families in need. I specifically am working in their vocational/educational program which provides free GED classes (high school diploma equivalence), ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) for adults, group tutoring, as well as individual tutoring, for students in kindergarten through high school. For individual tutoring, I am primarily responsible for creating lesson plans for younger students and helping them accomplish their schoolwork. For ESOL classes, I assist adults in practicing their English through readings, worksheets and exercises to widen their knowledge in English vocabulary and grammar.
