3. English Lessons for Ukrainian Refugees

Our student volunteer team, MRCS Helping Ukraine, is offering free English lessons over a cup of tea to any Ukrainian refugees wanting to attend. They have both Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking volunteers helping to lead these sessions.

The group meets Thursdays from 3:15-5:00 PM at Maple Ridge Christian School. The group is looking for parent volunteers to help facilitate the sessions. Knowledge of Ukrainian and Russian is not required to be the parent facilitator. 

If you are interested in helping in this way, please contact the office at .

Volunteers can sign up for one session or as many as they wish. All parent volunteers must have fully completed the MRCS volunteer paperwork, including a criminal record check. This info can be found under Forms and Handbooks on the Parent Portal or on the MRCS app.
