Do you love working with children?
Do you want to join a supportive network of women who are working to improve
their English skills and artistic abilities?
Then become a volunteer at Americana Community Center and help watch children
while their mothers improve their English while working on fiber arts projects that
supplement their income!
Americana Community Center’s Fiberworks program is designed to support the positive
integration of refugee and immigrant women into the Louisville community by learning and
sharing artistic skills, expanding literacy skills, exploring US culture, and developing social
networks. Women in the program meet three times a week to learn and practice English
while working on a fiber project. Americana Fiberworks classes teach English in the
context of fiber arts—mostly sewing and crocheting. Participants gain practical skills, learn
English, and sell the products they make.
To fully utilize the program, the women must be able to focus their attention on
what they are learning, creating the need for childcare providers during the meetings.
Fiberworks meets every Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturday from 12:00 – 3:00 p.m. If
you are interested in becoming a childcare provider for our Fiberworks Program please
email Rachel Slaughter at rachel@americanacc.org or call (502) 366-7813
