New World is open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., but the availability of rooms is more limited at night so mornings and afternoons are better.
Description: The New World Association of Emigrants from Eastern Europe (New World Association, NWA), incorporated in 1982, is a community-based organization dedicated to the educational and socioeconomic empowerment and societal integration of the Eastern European immigrant community in the greater Philadelphia area. Services New World offers include adult education, human services, legal, supportive services, career development, children and youth and referral services. Although this is considered a coaching site because it has an ESL program, tutors typically work with learners one-on-one outside of the ESL classes.
