FORMAL AND INFORMAL INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE YEAR ROUND

Centreville Immigration Forum holds English classes for speakers of other languages. Our classes are open to all members and offered at low to no cost. We are able to promote employability through better English language skills geared toward workforce vocabulary. We also strive to promote everyday independence by increasing confidence for students to better communicate and navigate their social networks.

Informal instruction is given as drop-in English classes held during the center hours, while members wait for job placements. This forum is more student centered and conversational and is a great way for CIF to optimize member’s time.

Formal classes are held in person and via zoom. Check out our CIF member’s Facebook Page for current registrations.

Drop in Classes every Monday – Friday 6:30-8am

Programs

Economic Justice

Centreville Labor Resource Center (CLRC) is CIF’s largest program that provides a safe place for workers and employers to meet to agree on terms for work. It’s an alternative to street-hiring and is open Monday – Saturday.
Wage Theft Prevention & Recovery seeks to empower members to better protect themselves on the job. We teach labor rights, how to make an agreement, track work, and take steps to recover unpaid wages.
Skills Training focuses on training members to make them more employable. Informal English classes are held daily during labor center hours, and formally at night. Trade, financial and technical literacy classes facilitate self-sufficiency.

Leadership Building

Worker Assemblies or “asambleas” are regular public forums where general membership can give voice to concerns, propose changes, and vote on updated programing.
Leadership Pipeline informs the programming that seeks to empower members by amplifying their voice and commitment to our work. It provides experiential learning by investing in personal growth and influence.
Directiva is a committee of the Board of Directors that is appointed by the workers in their general member meetings (asemblea). It is tasked with representing the membership and aligning work with goals.
Board of Directors is composed of community members and immigrants within the wider community. Its leadership is rooted in organizing and providing its members with training and support, while prioritizing language justice and equity.
