WHAT WE DO
ENGin is a global nonprofit building a future in which every young Ukrainian can confidently speak to foreigners in fluent, conversational English. We aim to connect Ukraine to the world in order to propel its postwar reconstruction and longer-term economic & social development.
Our one-of-a-kind program pairs Ukrainian youth with English speakers for free online conversation practice and cross-cultural connection. We work with students age 10-35 and volunteers age 14+.
OUR VISION
We are achieving nationwide change through a fully individualized approach deployed at unprecedented scale: 100,000+ 1-on-1 connections. Each of these pairings is a thread tying Ukraine to the world.
Today, our connections fight Russia's attempts to isolate and destroy Ukraine. Tomorrow, a generation of English-fluent, culturally competent young Ukrainians will rebuild our nation.

HOW IT WORKS
ENGin pairs English learners with volunteers from around the world to conduct weekly online speaking sessions. Every learner and volunteer is screened to ensure their fit for the program. Participants are then matched based on preferences, interests, and availability to ensure an effective and mutually enjoyable communication experience. After a match is made, ENGin supports learners and volunteers throughout their participation in the program with tips, resources, and problem resolution.
