LONGMONT, Colo. — Jim Fererro says questions are his oxygen when teaching English classes for Intercambio. He's been volunteering with the non-profit for almost a decade, helping Colorado's immigrant community prepare for the U.S. citizenship test.
“I think a lot of people think citizenship prep is all about the civics questions,” said Fererro."But that's really a small part of it.""At first, I was a little intimidated by that, but quickly discovered, there was a lot of advantages," remembered Fererro. Classes with Intercambio have helped hundreds of students get their citizenship — many, thanks to Jim.
“He's not only teaching English, but he truly understand the importance to build trust and make immigrant community feel belong to something,” said Norma Fuentes Gallo, the director of Intercambio's Boulder County program.Denver7 features a different Everyday Hero each week.
