ENGLISH SPEAKING PRACTICE & CULTURAL EXCHANGE FOR UKRAINIANS
FLEXIBLE ONLINE VOLUNTEERING FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS
WHO WE ARE
ENGin is a global nonprofit that helps Ukrainians of all ages improve their lives through authentic English-language conversation with volunteers worldwide. Our innovative program has connected over 65,000 Ukrainians and fluent English speakers for mutually beneficial relationships at the intersection of language practice, cultural exchange, mentorship, and friendship.
OUR VISION
A Ukraine where global connection is the norm — where Ukrainians of all ages and backgrounds reap the benefits of cross-cultural relationships and see themselves as part of the global community.
WHAT WE DO
Our program connects English-speaking volunteers with Ukrainians of all ages for weekly videochat conversations. We screen every participant to ensure their fit for the program, provide training and resources, and match learners and volunteers based on preferences and availability to ensure an effective and mutually enjoyable communication experience.
In just 1 hour a week, our volunteers make a huge impact - helping their conversation partners break the language barrier, offering friendship and emotional support, and introducing them to a new culture.
