Conversation Friend Program

The Conversation Friend Program matches international students, scholars or spouses with a local FFIS volunteer for one-on-one English conversation. Conversation Friends meet weekly for English conversation and practice. Students will be matched with volunteers of the same gender.

Conversation Friend volunteers range in age from college level to retirees, but all share the same desire to help international students, scholars or spouses practice conversational English and make new friends.

The Conversation Friend Application is open from September 1 through February 1 every year.

If you are a new FFIS volunteer, please click on the link below to sign up as a new FFIS volunteer.
