HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH WITH THE ENGIN PROGRAM
Imagine: every week, you have a real-life conversation in English with a dedicated volunteer.
After just three months of regular meetings, you overcome the language barrier and significantly improve your English skills.
But that’s not even the best part. With every conversation, you build meaningful friendships, develop communication skills, learn about new cultures, and share Ukrainian culture with the world
With ENGin, you’re not just learning English — you’re growing as a person.
Over 29,000 Ukrainians have already had this life-changing experience.
Our program was created for Ukrainians for the future of Ukraine. We invite students and volunteers who care about our country to participate. In addition to practicing English, we encourage students to become ambassadors of Ukraine and tell their volunteers about our struggle for freedom.
PROGRAM FORMAT
Our program connects Ukrainians with English speakers worldwide for engaging online speaking practice.

PARTICIPATION COST
ENGin is a non-profit organization focused on giving as many Ukrainians as possible the chance to improve their spoken English and engage in intercultural exchange.
Over 55,000 participants have already joined our program, and in the coming years, we aim to welcome 100,000 participants. We strive to provide everyone with a high-quality experience with solid support. Our dedicated team of over 30 people worldwide is here to serve you.
To continue providing these opportunities, we ask new participants to make a one-time donation. This contribution covers a year of participation in the program and helps support our operating costs.
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:
One-time Donation Does Not Apply to:
Scholarship program participants: students who are not financially able to make a one-time donation can apply for a full scholarship after completing Step 6 of the registration process (training for new students). The number of places is limited.
Members and veterans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: proof of affiliation with the UAF will be required during the ENGin interview.
One-time Donation Applies to:
All participants, except for military personnel, veterans, and participants of the scholarship program: make a one-time donation of 1200 UAH to participate in ENGin.
The donation is made to a Ukrainian bank account in UAH after completing Step 6 of the registration process (training for new students), which will allow you to learn more about the program.
Once you are matched with a volunteer, all ENGin classes are free of charge for 1 year of participation.
Learn more about the donation in the FAQs section here.
Our team is committed to making the program accessible to all Ukrainians!
