Free English classes are offered to our community two nights a week. With atleast fifty students in attendanace, our services have helped immigrants from more than 15 nations. Being in Texas, most of our students are from Mexico, but some are from Asia as well. Our volunteer program began two and a half years ago by college students and has been run solely by college students ever since. Every class, we come face to face with the desperate need for these men and women to learn English. They need jobs to provide for their families.

The Global Language Group, also known as Global Languages, is a non-profit, official student organization of The George Washington University (GW). It was founded by GW student Andrew Brown in September 2005, in effort to develop cooperation within the community through the education of international languages and cultures.
Breaking down the language and culture barriers is the first and most important step to bringing people together around the world.
