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!
I signed up for ENGin four years ago to help someone practice English. I didn’t expect to find one of the most meaningful friendships of my life.I was matched with a woman in Kyiv, and casual conversation practice turned into a real bond — through language, daily life, hard days and good ones. I adore her - she’s become family to me.This program doesn’t just build language skills, it builds real relationships. If you’re considering signing up: do it. You might walk away with a friend for life.

Love using this app to support my volunteer work with the ENGin program. I meet with my Ukrainian partner weekly, and we use the share screen, the chat, the video support for conversations that improve her English and broaden my world. Easier to use than many mainstream video conference platforms.

Engin provides a unique way to support Ukraine, help individual Ukrainians, and build friendships. I have participated for several months, and have learned a lot from my student, while helping her develop her skills. Lots of resources are provided to assist.
