Welcome
Volunteer English Program Mission
The Volunteer English Program (VEP) enhances the economic and social quality of life for immigrant families, community members, consumers, employers and employees in Chester County by providing tutoring for adults to improve their English language skills, their American cultural understanding, and their participation in the communities we share.
_____________________________________________
The Volunteer English Program (VEP) celebrates 20 years of making communities stronger by providing free English tutoring to thousands of America’s newcomers. VEP helps limited English-speaking adults in Chester County improve their English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.
With better English skills and an understanding of American culture, they can more effectively perform their adult roles as family members, workers and community participants. They move from being served toward self-sufficiency, from needing support services to becoming contributing members of their communities, which in turn are revitalized by their consumerism and entrepreneurship.
