Conversation Partner Program: Would you like a safe, easy place to practice your English language skills? Would you enjoy having an American friend who would meet with you each week and help you with any questions or challenges you may have? American students and community volunteers meet individually with international students for one hour each week to help you practice English conversation skills, learn about American culture, and build friendships! You can meet your partner in-person at a coffee shop, on campus, or at a local park.
International Mentorship Program: Do you want to meet a volunteer in your field of study or career to network with and learn from? We can match you with a volunteer in your career or field (example: engineer, biologist, teacher, artist, etc.) to meet with a few times a month to ask questions, learn about your field in the USA, and to network with!
