BECOME A BOOMER CONVERSATION PARTNER AT RICHLAND COLLEGE
- No experience necessary! You are a partner, not a teacher!
- Meet together each week with 2 or 3 foreign-born Richland students from different countries learning English as their second language.
- They are struggling to make it in America and must learn our language and culture.
- Meet with the same students each week and build connections.
- Just simple conversation - you talk - they talk - you listen - they listen and you connect! And one day, their eyes open wide and they “get it”!
- Hours: Wednesdays 6:00-7:00 p.m.

"Conversation Partners... a magic telescope through which the students see the U.S. more clearly. As volunteers, we see their lands and peoples in a new light. It is very rewarding and one of the brightest spots at Richland." Jack Lopez Klein
