Volunteer as an English Practice Partner (online or in person)

register to volunteer

This program allows you to connect directly with one woman to help her learn English and lets you build a cross-cultural friendship with someone new to the United States.

Once you sign up for this program, we’ll match you with a learner and provide information so the two of you can talk for at least one hour per week for five weeks by phone or Zoom. You can even meet in person if you’re both in the same town.

Requires a five or six-week commitment, but you and the learner decide on the day/time of your practice calls.
