Pilot Street Project
A partnership between Refugee and Immigration Services, The Virginia Tech Center for Student Engagement and Community Partnerships & The Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
The Pilot Street Project provides intergenerational English language / literacy programming and cultural transition support for refugee and immigrant families living in Roanoke. Project activities are conducted at the Jamestown and Indian Run Village apartment complexes, with additional programs offered to residents of the Lansdowne apartments. Survival English classes for adults of all proficiency levels are offered twice a week, with sessions held during the morning and evening hours. All sessions provide childcare for parents while they are in class.
