Description:
Looking to add an exceptional 'stand-out' quality on your resume? All you need is a passion for helping others and a commitment to speaking conversational English 20 hours a week. Volunteering to be a Conversation Partner with GeoVisions can be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences of your life, giving you the skills employers look for.
