Hi Glimpsers!
We are a group of youth ages 15-20 from San Juan who will be your Local Youth Ambassadors, your friends and your coteachers in English Tutoring. We volunteer with Global Glimpse so we can practice our English, serve our community and make lasting friendships… with you!
We are a team made up of people from different parts of the city. We are very excited to meet all of you. We want to learn more about American culture and about you as a person. For example, what are your hobbies and your backgrounds? And what you know about Dominican culture?
Something that we would love to learn about this group of Glimpsers is your culture. We would love to teach you about our culture, slang, traditional food, etc.
