Team Sports
 Every Tuesday and Wednesday from 6:30 - 8:00, groups of 7 - 13 and 13
-19 year olds meet in the Allison Gymnasium to play soccer. There is very little instruction;
instead, the emphasis is placed on leadership and sportsmanship through
a number of pick-up games. On Friday nights, a group of men, most
of whom are former Settlement program participants, meet at the gym to
play basketball.

English
As A Second Language
 |
Three to four nights a week, from 5:30 - 8:00, Hispanic and Polish
speaking adults from the West Town community come to the Settlement
for English as a Second Language classes. Classes are taught
by adult educators who are paid by City Colleges. When they
first come to class, students take a test that helps determine whether
they are beginners, intermediates or advanced. |
 The use of computers during these classes
is also increasing. In addition, for students who are not available
in the evenings, one class is held twice a week from 10:00 a.m. to noon.
