ESL to Go

The ESL to Go program is part of our English as a Second Language program specifically for refugees, approved asylees and SIVs (special immigrant visa holders) who have been in the U.S. for less than five years.

The program is grant-funded, so classes are free for students.

One of the top barriers that refugees face in attending ESL classes is often a lack of transportation. These classes are offered on-site and online to meet students’ needs.

Community Partnerships

ESL to Go is successful because of our commitment to community collaboration. We work closely with local resettlement agencies to make English classes more accessible to their clients.

We are proud to partner with local churches, refugee leaders and community organizations.

TLC also works with funders, including the Tennessee Office for Refugees, Dollar General Literacy Foundation and the Memorial Foundation to continue providing high-quality English classes to refugees in our community.
