If you need community service hours, we will verify one hour for every 5 kits created.

Volunteer: Speaking Volunteers with ENGin

 

ENGin is looking for volunteers to serve as speaking buddies for international students. This is a super-flexible and unique opportunity to make a difference without leaving your room. Plus, you'll get to know peers across the world!

  Here's how it works:

We will pair you up with a Ukrainian student to video chat each week at times that are convenient for you. We match students and volunteers based on age, gender preference, and schedules. We will provide you with training and suggested session activities. The commitment starts at just 1 hour/week.

To join our team, please fill out this short form: https://forms.gle/QSXn8jN8uUPoMrK26. Once we receive it, we will reach out to schedule a 15-minute video call to provide more details and answer any questions. You can learn more about ENGin at www.enginprogram.org. If you have any questions before signing up, please contact us at info@enginprogram.org.

  Why Volunteer with ENGin?

Make an impact without leaving your room: ENGin offers a unique opportunity to make a personal connection and a tangible difference in another student's life, all from your laptop or phone. 

Create your own schedule: It can be tough to fit volunteer hours into a busy schedule! ENGin offers volunteers maximum flexibility: you decide when to schedule speaking sessions with your student. If something comes up, you can reschedule a session. 

Connect with peers across the globe: The opportunity for intercultural exchange is one of the best aspects of our program. Our volunteers love getting to know their speaking buddies, learning about a different culture, and sharing stories about their own lives. 

Get valuable one-on-one tutoring experience: Armed with resources and support from our team, you'll gain valuable skills such as preparing for a session, asking good questions, and forming a strong working relationship with a peer. 

Am I Eligible?

ENGin has 3 main criteria for volunteers:

 

Age: You should be 14-22 years old.

English fluency: Volunteers should be native English speakers or fluent in English (English level of C1-C2).

Commitment: Volunteers should be ready to dedicate 1-2 hours a week to ENGin. If you're looking for more hours, we can accommodate that too!

You don't need teaching experience to volunteer with ENGin. Our learners have all studied English grammar and vocabulary and can carry on a conversation. Volunteers are not expected to prepare or deliver formal lessons - rather, they chat informally with their buddies to help them practice and improve their spoken English.
