2 - I’ve heard of it, but what is it about?

We are a program that trains volunteers with effective listening skills.  Our volunteers listen to students K-12 who need to share their feelings with an adult that is non-judgmental and does not give advice.  We support our volunteers throughout this entire process with on-going workshops and professional speakers.  The Listeners/Oyentes Program has been established for well over 30 years and is sponsored by The Francine and Herbert Tobin Foundation and the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Office of Community Engagement.
