Where there's a will there's a way.
Kay Minis and Jessica Loose, the founders of Sea Change OBX, have deep ties to the Latino community on the Outer Banks of NC. The knew many adults who wanted to improve their English and decided to offer a free evening class one night a week. When Hotline, another local nonprofit, offered free space, Kay and Jessica put out the word that the first class would be held January 14, 2020. They anticipated teaching three leveled classes to about twenty adults weekly. Over sixty showed up, sitting on the floor and lined up along the walls.
From a class to a "colegio"
Kay and Jessica didn't want to turn anyone away. They took names and reached out for more volunteer teachers. The following week, Sea Change had seven classrooms set up with one or two teachers for each group. Learning materials were ready for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students.
