Residents Volunteer to Teach English to Associates

from Asbury Methodist Village

GAITHERSBURG, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--More than five dozen residents at Asbury Methodist Village (AMV) have volunteered over the last 15 years to teach English to more than 100 AMV associates who are first generation immigrants to America. These associates represent more than two dozen countries – from Cameroon to Vietnam. This program is sponsored through the Literacy Council of Montgomery County.

“For us, it’s a win-win—our associates are able to communicate better with residents, which is something everyone can feel good about,” said Asbury Methodist Village Executive Director David Denton. “These one-on-one tutoring sessions help enhance the community feeling here overall.”
