INTERNATIONAL

Bridging the gap between world cultures
We are here to help internationals. It is not easy living in a foreign country. We offer help in learning and speaking English. We also help students transition to life in America. We plan fun activities to help you enjoy your time in America. We provide opportunities to learn and experience American culture. We are sponsored by a Christian church, but you do not need to be a Christian to join our group.
What we do
We organize fun activities for students to make friends and experience America. We take trips to Yale University, the beach and zoo. We have barbecues at homes. We take trips to Boston, NYC, canoeing, and more.
