PROGRAM DETAILS
1-on-1 Format: In this format, a volunteer is matched with one student for individual sessions. Optionally, volunteers can work with multiple students separately, holding one-on-one hour-long sessions with each student.
Mini-Group Format: In this format, volunteers work with a minimum of 2 students (of a similar English level) simultaneously, with the possibility of accommodating more participants upon request of the whole group. This setup enhances the volunteering impact by fostering group interaction and peer learning, allowing the volunteer to guide and support multiple students at once. Learn more about the Mini-Group format below.

APPLICATION AND INTERVIEW
We are really sorry about the inconvenience! We try to have many options in our calendar each week, but sometimes many people sign up and we run out. Just email us at info@enginprogram.org and we will add more timeslots to accommodate you. You may also complete our video interview option.
GETTING MATCHED TO A STUDENT
To be matched with a student, you need to complete an interview with us and, as a result of it, receive an acceptance email, sign our program agreement, complete the volunteer training and quiz, and complete a short match form. Once you finish these steps, we will try to match you with a student within 1–3 weeks.Unfortunately, we are not always able to find a student who is a good match right away, especially if you have very specific preferences. However, we are doing our best to find the right student for you!
TROUBLE WITH A STUDENT
Text/email your student again and wait four days. If your student still doesn’t respond, email us at info@enginprogram.org.
ADDING, DROPPING, OR CHANGING YOUR STUDENT
Yes! To request an additional student, log in to your profile at app.enginprogram.org and go to the Home page. In the “My Students” section, click the “Manage Students” button and select “Add a student.” Make sure your availability and preferences are up to date, then submit the request. Once completed, our team will begin searching for a new student match for you.
LEAVING THE PROGRAM
Log in to your account at app.enginprogram.org, go to your Profile section, scroll down, and select the “Leave program” button.
Please note that after submitting your leave request, you are expected to continue holding sessions for two more weeks. We require this notice period to give us time to support your student and find a new volunteer.
