Los Amigos

Los Amigos Club is a group of adults who meet weekly for 2 ½ hours to practice English and improve their communication skills.  The Club has over 30 members and is organized by Stella Segura, the ESL Services Coordinator at the Plainfield Public Library. Peter Jacobs and other tutors also take part by coordinating the Club’s activities. 

Typically, one will find 10 to 20 members at any given meeting.  Its members and guests are native to more than 10 different countries and speak at least 5 different languages. However, it is their desire to improve their English that brings them together.

Student Events

Students meet to share their talents and learning experience, all while making new friends and having fun. The roundtable is geared to encourage students to continue in the program and also listen to any suggestions they may have to improve the programs. It is held four times during the year. Everyone is welcome!

The Adult Literacy Program regularly holds Student Events. For more information call the Literacy Office at: 908-757-1111 ext. 122.
