VoRTCS is a refugee support program that links volunteer teams (in groups of 3 or more tutors) with refugee families for weekly home visits. These regular weekly sessions develop English language skills, provide information about their local area and assist families to feel they are a part of their new community. Our volunteers find it’s a rewarding experience to form connections with a vibrant and diverse cultural group and see their family successfully adapt to life in Australia.Our goal is to assist all members of the family to settle into life in Australia, to build community links, and empower them to be able to access every opportunity available to all Australians.We do not require our volunteers to be experienced tutors or qualified teachers. Rather, we are looking for individuals who feel strongly about helping others, recognise the value in everyone working together and are able to dedicate approximately 90 minutes per week to their tutor group and family.To find out more about the Program, visit our information websitewww.refugeetutoring.org." } ] } ] ```
