Young Minds Talk Buddies




Young Minds Talk Buddies (YMTB) is a program offered by the Young Minds Eye non-profit organization. The purpose of the Talk Buddies program is to create a warm-welcoming, inclusive environment for youth newcomers to practice their English with other English learners and native English speakers. If you are up for a journey of learning English, making new friends, and having fun, join us every Friday at 6 PM (MST)

Learning a new language can be challenging when individuals are not using it on a daily basis except for the classroom environment. Your teacher might be showing you how to use grammar and write compound sentences today, but what is the chance of you remembering it tomorrow if you don’t put that knowledge into use.



What does the English Club Program look like?



The English Club Program will be conducted through weekly meetings on a specific date that the group agrees on. Each session will be about 1 hour and different activities will be conducted by Club Facilitators. Club Facilitators are trained volunteers who have put hours of work into preparing English Club materials for the program.


Here is a rough plan of what a month of English Club could potentially look like.
