The PAACDC believes that an English language program for limited English proficient individuals can create better opportunities in employment, citizenship, health care and education.

The PAACDC provides English as a second language classes to the Arab community at Al-Aqsa Islamic Society with the help from Project Shine (http://phillyshine.org/). Students from Temple University come to tutor dozens of men and women from the community.

In addition to the ESL, Al-Aqsa also offers classes in civics and US citizenship preparation.
