We've been teaching English for over 100 years!
WHO WE ARE
The English Center of Youngstown is a non-profit, charitable organization that serves adults who are English learners by offering free English language classes. In order to meet the growing needs of newcomers to our community, The English Center now offers both in-person classes for beginning students as well as live, online classes for Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Our experienced and dedicated teachers focus on speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills at all levels of instruction.
We are an inclusive, multicultural, and diverse organization that welcomes students of all races, cultures, religions, and ethnicities.
OUR HISTORY
The English Center has its roots in the International Institute of Youngstown which was established in 1918 and offered programs that helped immigrants adjust to life in the United States.
In 1986, The International Institute became a foundation and The English Center was created to carry on the mission of offering free English Language classes in a warm and caring atmosphere.
We owe our undying gratitude to our founders, Leslie Kiske and Roberta Grinstein.
