Adult English Language Learners Take Summer Course
This summer ParentJobNet launched its newest literacy program for Adult English Langauge Learners that is geared for students with limited schooling. Starting in late September, a year-long class will be offered at one of our East Harlem partner public schools. After students complete this course many of them will move on to our ESL courses where they will further develop their language skills.

Summer Inters Present to the Board of Directors
After a summer supporting ParentJobNet projects and initiatives, interns presented their work and achievements during a recent meeting of the board of directors. Board members were ecstatic at the opportunity to learn firsthand of the many contributions they each made to supporting ParentJobNet's mission. Their energy and enthusiasm will be missed in our offices, but as all internships, they come to an end. Best of luck to each of them as they start or continue college in the fall.
