English Skills Learning Center

There are three ESLC classes that meet at University Neighborhood Partners (UNP) project at Hartland during the week and since UNP's schedule matches the University of Utah schedule, the program director decided to have a year end party for the entire community and fellow community partners.  On Saturday our volunteers and students were honored with a certificate of participation and appreciation.  Students engaged in conversation with the community at large, watched cultural performances and enjoyed each other's company while we ate lunch together.  A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of the ESLC volunteers.  Thank you for your dedication, hard-work and loyalty.  Together we have made a difference!
