Interested in helping international students? Interested in intercultural exhanges? Consider volunteering for Pacific International Academy's Conversation Partners Program in which international students are paired with community volunteers (like you) in order to improve their English speaking and listening skills and learn American culture. The only requirements: speak Native/fluent English and be able to meet with your partner consistently. Conversation partners usually meet for about an hour once a week. If you're interested or would like more information, please reply to this post, email to conversation@piaschools.edu, or call PIA at 503-699-6310.
