[The Jersey Journal] A nonprofit organization in Bayonne, The Windmill Alliance, will be offering English as a Second Language classes for $10 this spring and is looking for volunteers to help administer the program.

The Rev. Rose Cohen Hassan, the ESL program director, said the program has been in the planning for two years, but with The Windmill Alliance receiving a grant, the ESL program has now come to fruition.

“This is important for the community and our clients at HIGHWAYS,” said Hassan. “Our clients are mostly immigrants, many of them from Egypt, who have come to this country after the Arab Spring, as well as Spanish and Polish speakers, who are very educated in their country, but are underemployed here.”
