Erin Hogan (ENGin)
Abstract
ENGin is a nonprofit organization changing the world one conversation at a time. We connect English-speaking volunteers age 13-80+ with Ukrainian learners for online speaking practice and cross-cultural exchange. Through simple weekly virtual conversations, our volunteers make a huge impact—helping people overcome the language barrier, offering friendship and emotional support, and introducing them to a new culture.
Join ENGin's volunteer recruitment manager to hear more about how you can join ENGin as a volunteer and support their vision of creating generations of English-fluent Ukrainians by increasing access to English language learning. We'll explore the evolution of ENGin as an organization, the values on which ENGin was founded, and our vision for the future, both as a program and a global community.
For the TESOL community, ENGin's volunteer program offers a meaningful way to practice your professional skills in a casual, authentic environment, whether you are a student or a seasoned professional. While teaching experience is not required for our program, we have designed ENGin to be as flexible and accessible as possible. In many ways, it's up to you what your conversation practice with your match looks like!
