Support Ukraine as an Online Conversation Partner
Details
Description
Support Ukraine from wherever you are, one conversation at a time.
Join ENGin as a conversation partner and be matched with a learner in Ukraine for weekly one-on-one English conversations. In just one hour a week, you can give a Ukrainian learner a consistent, friendly presence in their life, help them build confidence and break the language barrier. You’ll also learn about Ukrainian culture and make a genuine human connection across borders.
We’ll pair you with a learner in Ukraine for weekly one-hour videochats at times that are convenient for you. During your conversations, you’ll facilitate English practice, learn about each other’s cultures, and offer an empathetic, authentic space for connection.
Our only requirements for volunteers are English fluency, a strong internet connection, and the ability to commit to one hour a week for a minimum of 12 weeks.
No prior tutoring experience or knowledge of the Ukrainian language is needed. We offer ample training resources, session materials, and total flexibility to customize your sessions to your and your partner’s goals and preferences. Our friendly team is available to support you throughout your time with us.
Since our launch in 2020, ENGin has matched over 35,000 volunteers with Ukrainians for authentic English-language connection across borders, and we continue to grow every day. 99% of our learners report feeling they were able to break the language barrier, and 85% of our participants form lasting friendships. We’re incredibly proud of these results, and we can’t wait to welcome you into this global community of volunteers standing with Ukraine.
