Project SHINE Library


There are many resources available to SHINE volunteers as they help immigrants and refugees improve their English skills or gain U.S. citizenship.  There are also resources available to help volunteers learn about refugees and immigrants, and about the history and cultures of their learners.  The Project SHINE Library is located in the Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center.
