Connect with International Students Through Friendship and Conversation

The University of Idaho's International Programs Office invites local community members to engage with international students through two unique initiatives. The English Conversation Partner Program pairs international students with volunteers for regular conversations, enhancing their English skills while fostering cultural exchange. In parallel, the Friendship Family Program connects students with local families who offer support and companionship. These programs aim to strengthen cross-cultural connections and create a more inclusive atmosphere in the Palouse community. Participants can find sign-up links for both programs in the article.

The initiative not only benefits students but also enriches the experiences of local volunteers. Those interested in volunteering or learning more can reach out to the International Programs Office at the provided email. The programs reflect the university's commitment to building a welcoming community for diverse cultures.
