El Sol's English as a Second Language program offers clients the opportunity to learn English, integrate into the community, and acquire jobs. Curriculum focuses on navigating the American healthcare and financial systems, and teaches vocabulary for work and everyday life. Students also learn the norms of American culture by having teachers explain idiomatic expressions, terms, and traditions.
El Sol’s Kitchen provides breakfast, a to-go lunch, and hot meals for day laborers waiting for work in El Sol’s Labor Hall in Jupiter. The program ensures day laborers receive at least one balanced meal a day and gives them the energy needed to complete hard outdoor work. Clients also benefit by saving money earned from work for bills rather than food expenses.
