English for New Bostonians (ENB) was spearheaded in 2001 by the Boston Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement, with the Office of Workforce Development, local foundations, and immigrant leaders. ENB was launched to address the urgent need for ESOL classes (English for Speakers of Other Languages) to serve our city’s burgeoning immigrant communities, and to expand and better coordinate Boston’s ESOL system. ENB’s Board of Directors seats a mix of City, philanthropic, business, and immigrant leaders who lead our work to meet diverse community needs, drive innovation, and bring our work high-level visibility.
