Congratulations to the 2023 English Program Graduates

30 farmworkers completed the winter program

Every winter the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation, in partnership with the Napa Adult School, offers English classes for vineyard workers. Farmworkers can get a jump start in December with a two week intensive, followed by a10-week program.

"I just want to thank everyone who made it possible for us to have these classes. My English is not very good, but I am still learning. Being here for 10 weeks has helped me a lot, I know how to speak a bit, but I didn't know how to read and write. Now I can read and write it better. I recommend everyone to come to the classes and it's a good opportunity and there is always something good to learn." - José Ramirez, Walsh Vineyard Management

"For me it was very important to join the English class because it is an incentive to continue studying and it's the beginning of a new chapter. I hope to continue studying and I want to thank my mentors, Allison and Beto, who were there with me during my classes, because I have learned a lot. Thank you." -  Guadalupe Morales, Cliff Lede Vineyards
