VoRTCS Information & Training Session - 25 July 2026
About this Event
The Vinnies QLD VoRTCS program provides a free quality in-home service which delivers English-based tutoring and community advice for refugee families to help them in their settlement journey and in developing their independence. By promoting learning through language in a way which helps refugees to function more independently, we hope they will be able to take up the educational, social and vocational opportunities to meet their needs. Volunteer tutor teams (in teams of 2-3 tutors) help family members with their English, their knowledge about how our community works, and developing independence in 10 key focus areas pertaining to settlement
