CONVERSATION   CONNECTION   GROWTH

WHAT WE DO

At ENGin, we believe that authentic English-language connection across borders changes lives. Our program connects English-speaking volunteers with English learners abroad for weekly videochat conversations.

In just 1 hour a week, our volunteers make a huge impact - helping their students break the language barrier, offering friendship and emotional support, and introducing them to a new culture.

OUR VISION

Through direct conversation, we facilitate mutually beneficial relationships between students and volunteers, creating a virtuous cycle of growth and understanding. And by doing this at an unprecedented scale - 48,000 participants and counting - we help emerging democracies connect with the global community, breaking down borders and catalyzing economic and social development. 

HOW IT WORKS

We currently work with motivated Ukrainians of all ages and volunteers age 13-85+ located worldwide. We screen every learner and volunteer to ensure their fit for the program, and provide training and orientation.​

Participants are matched either one-on-one or in mini-groups with two or more learners based on their preferences, interests, and availability to ensure an effective and mutually enjoyable communication experience. After a match is made, students and volunteers begin conducting weekly online speaking sessions. ENGin supports participants throughout their time in the program with tips, resources, and problem resolution.

TESTIMONIALS

"Through the ENGin program, I had the privilege of meeting my volunteer, Nancy from Colorado. Her guidance and support were invaluable. Your program not only enhanced my language skills but also served as a source of strength during the toughest moments. I am filled with appreciation for the impact ENGin has had on my life."
