Volunteer: Teach English to Immigrants and Refugees

Torus was founded in 2020 by a refugee who was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, raised in Moscow, Russia, and lives in Portland, Oregon. Torus bridges gaps between people and communities by facilitating transformative experiences of language and culture exchange. We do this work through our seven programs. We believe in connectivity and a sense of belonging to a community for immigrants and refugees, as well as anyone who has been living in the US for generations.,Torus bridges gaps between people and communities by facilitating transformative experiences of language and culture exchange.We offer free drop-in English classes for adult learners of English at sites across the Portland metro area.
