ENGin

ENGin is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding Ukraine through the power of the English language. Our one-of-a-kind program is working to pair 100,000 Ukrainian youth with English speakers worldwide for online, one on one conversation practice and cross-cultural connection.

On an individual level, we equip students to access academic and professional opportunities. On a national level, we connect Ukraine with the world, spurring economic growth and social progress. Check out our introduction video to learn more: https://youtu.be/LniVDLzB1oA

Are you ready to change a life from the comfort of home?

ENGin is looking for fluent English speakers to videochat with Ukrainian youth. This is a flexible and unique opportunity to make a huge impact while discovering a new culture and meeting a new friend!

We’ll pair you up with a student to videochat with each week at times that are convenient for you. No teaching experience or knowledge of Ukrainian is required. All of our students can understand and hold a basic conversation in English. 

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 10-12 weeks. We provide training, support, and comprehensive session plans to guide your conversations.

Here's what three ENGin volunteers say about their experience. 

• "This is an amazing organization that helps students learn English in Ukraine just by having conversations. It is a great experience, and I look forward to talking to my buddy every week. It is a great way to learn about Ukrainian culture and see a unique perspective."

• "This program has been, I think, life-changing for both of us. I really consider her more like my daughter right now. That's how close we have become!"

• "I'm so glad that I got this experience and was able to make a new friend. Teaching someone English, or a language you are fluent in is easy for anyone to do. By putting in a small amount of time, I'm able to make a huge impact on my student."
