ENGin is a unique global nonprofit promoting social progress and economic growth in Ukraine by developing a critical mass of globally connected, English-fluent citizens. Our pioneering online program has forged cross-border connections between 55,000+ Ukrainians and volunteers worldwide through weekly English language conversation and mentorship.
Are you a Ukrainian looking to practice English and connect with people across borders? Sign up as an ENGin student!
Imagine: every week, you have a real-life conversation in English with a dedicated volunteer.
After just three months of regular meetings, you overcome the language barrier and significantly improve your English skills.
But that’s not even the best part. With every conversation, you build meaningful friendships, develop communication skills, learn about new cultures, and share Ukrainian culture with the world
With ENGin, you’re not just learning English — you’re growing as a person.
Over 29,000 Ukrainians have already had this life-changing experience. Become an ENGin student and join them today!
Are you an English speaker who’d like to change a life from the comfort of home? Join ENGin as a conversation partner!
We offer a flexible and unique opportunity for English speakers 13+ to make a direct impact on someone’s life while discovering a new culture and meeting a new friend.
We’ll pair you up with a buddy (-ies) in Ukraine for weekly videochats at times that are convenient for you. During your conversations, you’ll practice English with your partner(s), learn about each other’s cultures, and offer an empathetic, authentic space for connection.
No teaching experience or knowledge of Ukrainian is required to volunteer with us. All of our participants can understand and hold a basic conversation in English.
Join our community of 26,000+ virtual volunteers and change a life today!
