"This was a great collection of videos and more thorough training than I received even for an online teaching position I have."

— Kristi, ESL Volunteer, Resiliency Program participant, translated from original language

"I would recommend this to a friend! I love that this training encourages a strengths based perspective, and gives practical advice on how to best engage with these youth."

— Katie, Youth Mentor and Tutor

"The engagement and listening tools were very helpful and insightful. The case studies putting the tools into real situations was also very helpful."

— Olevia, Youth Mentor and Tutor, single mother in our preferred communities program

"I so appreciate World Relief offering us online training, that we can do on our own schedule. Especially helpful was the short unit on how the Learner-centered approach (our goal with refugees) differs from the traditional Teacher-centered approach!"

— Shari, ESL Tutor

The Workshop Courses

The Workshop courses are designed to create a learning community where worldviews can be discussed challenged and where individuals can gain skills and knowledge. Each class has a different focus. You can create your own schedule of courses depending on what and how you want to learn.

Expectations for finishing your course depend on your office. For example, you may have to complete the Orientation course before attending a live orientation session. Your volunteer coordinators will let you know if they expect you to complete a course by a certain date or time frame. While the flexibility of an online course is convenient, we want to empower you to get started in your tutoring role.
