Curry: English in Action needs your support

English in Action has come a long way in the 30 years since we started operating out of a few rooms at the Basalt Library, serving just a handful of our valley’s newest residents. In 2023, we served 380 individuals, a substantial increase over those early days.

English in Action, with the help of almost 300 tutors and community members, helps immigrants learn English and develop the skills they need to pursue their dreams. We bridge cultural divides and offer opportunities to celebrate and learn about our diverse community.

Today, we are on the verge of achieving a significant milestone: creating our new home, the English in Action Center for Communication, in the heart of the midvalley. The center will enable us to serve our entire community better.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of hundreds of donors, we have raised $4.3 million toward our $5 million goal. With just $730,000 left to raise, we are close to realizing our dream. Yet, to achieve this goal, we need your support now more than ever.

I encourage you to visit the English in Action website and donate. By doing so, you’re not just contributing financially; you’re joining a community that empowers countless individuals.

Working together, we can make the Center for Communication a reality.

With heartfelt thanks,

Patrick Curry, Board of Advisors, English in Action
