Project SHINE is a service-learning program that links student volunteers from City College of San Francisco with immigrant and elderly students in non-credit ESL classrooms. Interviews to be a SHINE coach/volunteer begin within the first 2–3 weeks every school semester. No experience is necessary. This program is designed to accommodate students with little or no volunteer experience. The interview is when we sit down with you, and we find an appropriate non-credit ESL class that will fit into your schedule.
