Friendship Volunteer

Friendship Volunteers are often vital to the success of international students as they face many new challenges in a foreign county. Volunteers are matched with an international student and are encouraged to introduce them to cultural activities, everyday life of a "typical" local, and practical support. Volunteer commitment: 1 year or less, 1-3 hours/month (on your own schedule!)

Whether you are sharing a recipe passed down through generations or ordering a pizza you will be able to share your home and traditions with a new friend. Volunteer commitment: 1x a year or more! Typically in the evening on a weekday or weekend.
