ENGLISH SPEAKING PRACTICE & CULTURAL EXCHANGE FOR UKRAINIANS
FLEXIBLE ONLINE VOLUNTEERING FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS
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
We will use the power of conversation to connect a million globally-minded Ukrainians with English speakers in the US and worldwide, forging supportive, authentic relationships, building a foundation of English fluency, and opening doors to academic and professional opportunities. Taken together, a million incremental improvements in participants’ lives will catalyze Ukraine’s 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.
