Last day of classes for the semester
Note: New students are always welcome during the semester, simply come to the church the
night of class and tell someone you are a new student and need to register.
Closings due to weather
The church follows the federal government. If the federal government closes, including early
closing, then the church will be closed. Status updates will be posted to our Facebook page.
The ESL program at Foundry is possible only because of the hard work and dedication of our
volunteers. Each Tuesday and Thursday evening when classes are in session, our volunteers perform
everything from registering students to teaching classes. Many behind-the-scenes activities are also
performed by volunteers working with Foundry staff.
Volunteers are asked to commit one night per week for a minimum of one semester (typically 10
weeks). No prior teaching experience or foreign language skills are required. If you are interested in
volunteering, please fill out our interest form.
