Myth: I need to speak a second language to volunteer as an English Language Learning (ELL) program tutor. False! You do not need to speak a second language to be an ELL tutor because all classes are immersion-based. Our provided curriculum and materials help students quickly grasp onto English vocabulary and grammar.
Apply today to become an ELL tutor and help make a difference. #LinkInBio

A long-time tradition of our Ben & Betty Zarda Family & Friends Golf Classic has been for Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann (@archkck) to join us and lead the gathering in prayer. It was extra special for our 44th annual event, as this year marked his last time to fulfill this duty as our current Archbishop.
We are grateful for his leadership and steadfast support of our mission, and are thankful for him celebrating with us all these years!
