BAD WEATHER CLOSING POLICY: When bad weather closes Henrico Public Schools, there will be no ESL classes.
We welcome interested people to volunteer as teachers, substitutes, conversation partners, and child care providers (or substitutes).
The opportunities to help are unlimited. The only requirement to work in the program is a desire to be of service to those who voluntarily come to our program in order to better themselves.
