Overview
Volunteer Online as a Conversation Partner — ENGin pairs English-fluent volunteers from around the world with Ukrainian learners for weekly online conversation practice. Participants are matched 1-on-1 based on preferences, interests, and availability to ensure an effective and mutually enjoyable communication experience. After a match is made, ENGin supports learners and volunteers with tips, resources, and problem resolution. We screen every learner and volunteer to ensure fit for the program and provide training and orientation.
