English For New Bostonians provides funding, training and technical assistance to organizations that serve diverse limited English speakers across the City of Boston.
We currently support several types of programs across multiple levels of English instruction:
ENB welcomes collaborations among programs, especially those that provide innovative, intensive, or comprehensive services for students. If you are interested in applying for a grant, please sign up for our newsletter and you will be alerted when grant applications open.
Through ENB’s Immigrant Economic Resilience Initiative (IERI), a cadre of three multi-lingual career coaches foster quality employment and small business opportunities for students who attend our seven most grassroots community programs across Boston. Coaches work one-on-one with individuals to prepare them and support them in the employment recruitment process.
Simultaneously, the coaches cultivate relationships with quality employers interested in providing advancement opportunities for talented hires. The ENB coaching model is tailored to immigrants with diverse English levels, educational and work backgrounds, and career aspirations.
IERI builds out capacity to assist immigrants in increasing their English skills and securing a stable economic pathway. Programs customized to employment for sectors with staff shortages, and entrepreneurship, offer not only routes out of poverty, but a key strategy to fuel economic mobility.
