| Volunteer with our Education Department Participants in Tacoma Community House’s (TCH) education program seek out our services to learn English so they can work and support their families as they work towards their American dreams; to build basic reading, writing, and math skills that enable them to seek higher education and function in their daily lives; and earn GEDs and gain access to job training and employment. You can either work with individuals, small groups of students or educational professionals to support our programs. Build skills while helping your community become a place where everyone can and does participate.
