Intercambio Uniting Communities

Your gift brings English learners and community volunteers together in language classes and gatherings to build skills, confidence, and life challenging connections. Together, we turn vulnerability into confidence, and connection into joy. Belonging matters, and YOU help make it real.

 

"I wasn’t just learning English; I was gaining confidence, finding my place, and rebuilding my identity in a new country. I didn’t just feel like a student, I felt like I belonged. I felt seen, welcomed, and at home." 

-Kamila, Past Intercambio Student
