upcoming events

SATURDAY, April 5th from 4PM-6PM, IN-PERSON, we will host our monthly “intercambio”  for neighbors on the Upper East Side in collaboration with Open Hearts Initiative.

We will have scripted conversation starters in English and Spanish, we will play games to practice language skills as well as share dinner, and other essential resources. Our community clothing closet will also be available for those that need clothing.

If you’re able to volunteer at this event (help your asylum-seeker neighbors learn English while learning or practicing your Spanish), please email Project1231nyc@gmail.com.

No prior experience or level of fluency in Spanish is required–it’s really about building community and learning a little bit from each other. You can also help with “childcare,” providing activities for the children of participants such as stories, games, and coloring. This is a FREE event and ALL are welcome to attennd!
