Ingles Con Seis Puentes
ICSP is a new program at Seis Puentes. Our apparent objective is simple: aprender y practicar el ingles – to learn and practice English. But, you should already know that its so much more than that. ICSP is a chance to share fellowship with your neighbors. We play bingo, we get visits from NLRPD’s Victims Advocate Detective, learn how to pay bills, and how to sign up for Kroger cards. We share immigration resources; we do it all at ICSP.
ICSP is a change to establish and strengthen a relationship between the Latinx community and the community at large.

“My wife and I arrived from Ecuador, our native country, to live in Arkansas at the end of October 2021 and one of the first actions we took was to search the internet for an institution where we could learn English, learn a little more about American culture, mechanisms to find job opportunities and how and where to carry out procedures to obtain identification from the State, Social Security and Driver’s License. One of the options that the internet threw at me was “Seis Puentes”.
I was attended by Ms. Sue Kelly, who very kindly invited me to visit them and from the first day the visit was very satisfactory, the atmosphere very pleasant. We met its Director, Raul Fernandez, who was very attentive and ready to help us with all our needs.
The experience so far has been very fruitful, we are making progress in learning the English language, as well as learning to integrate into the community. The teachers are very professional. Our fellow students, most of them Hispanics, are very nice and eager to get ahead.”

Helping our community any way we can.
In addition to our programs and classes, we do what we can to help people through the process of immigration – from sourcing food and supplies to helping them feel welcomed and supported in their new community.
