St. Joseph Parish welcomes volunteers for Spanish Mentor program
The Spanish Leadership Team at St. Joseph Parish in Jasper is looking for volunteers to participate in a mentoring program to help members of its Hispanic Community succeed. The program, which began in 2017, was created to provide assistance and address the needs of each individual.
Mentors do not need to speak fluent Spanish; the only requirement is the willingness to help. Partners will meet for approximately one hour per week. Past goals have included working to improve English skills, studying for citizenship tests and working to be a part of the greater community.
The Spanish Leadership Team and Father Cris Adongo invite anyone interested in learning more to attend an introductory meeting at 6:30 p.m. on March 19 at the St. Joseph Parish Center in Jasper. Please call 812-631-4911 for more information.
