Summer Sing-along

Join Dean Arvidson and friends for a songfest in the Greeley Courtyard, Saturday, August 13 at 2 pm. This is not a summer service; it is a good opportunity to gather together and sing!

Who We Are

Who We Are

We are curious, compassionate thinkers and doers. Diverse in age, ability, and spirituality, we build a community that changes lives. We welcome people of all ethnicities, gender identities, races, sexual orientations and family configurations. Our members and friends do include some people of color, and we have work to do to become a deeply multiracial and diverse community.

Learning English for Adults Program
L.E.A.P. offers three levels of beginner classes online: basic literacy, low beginners and high beginners, and a low intermediate class. In addition, LEAP will offer citizenship prep classes. Ten experienced volunteer instructors from First Parish and the community teach one or more semesters.
Students may elect to attend 2 or 3 classes each week. Reading, writing, listening, and speaking are emphasized in all classes.
Our program provides access to English language instruction to students who did not win the Framingham Adult ESL Plus program lottery, students who cannot commit to programs that require 2 or 3 weekly sessions or cannot afford tuition-based programs. Most of our students are from South America.
