Are you a fluent English speaker with a background in education? Do you want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Ukrainian teachers and students?

ENGin for Educators (ENGin4EDU) is a unique opportunity to support English teachers in Ukraine. As a volunteer conversation partner, you’ll share experiences, exchange global education insights, and help your partner improve their English fluency, all without leaving home.

Here’s how our program works: We’ll match you with a Ukrainian teacher for weekly one-on-one video chats at a time that works best for you. We provide session materials for you to use or adapt during meetings. A dedicated program manager and an online community to share ideas and ask questions will support you throughout your volunteer experience.

English fluency is an essential skill for Ukrainians to rebuild their lives and their country after the war. Unfortunately, many Ukrainian English teachers lack confidence in their own English skills. By supporting educators, we create a ripple effect: for each teacher we help, we impact the hundreds or thousands of students she reaches throughout her career.

Our main requirements for volunteers are:

  • English fluency (No knowledge of Ukrainian is required!)
  • Professional experience in education
  • Proficiency with a video chat platform of your choice (Zoom/Google Meet/etc)
  • Age 21+
  • Commitment: 1 hour/week for 6 months
  • Timeline: March-August 2025

ENGin for Educators is an initiative from ENGin, a nonprofit registered in the US and Ukraine (www.enginprogram.org). Since 2020, we've worked with over 26,000 Ukrainians.

How to Get Started:

  • Go to app.enginprogram.org and click "Become a Volunteer"
  • When you reach the question "What program are you applying for?", select ENGin for Educators Subprogram.
  • To secure your spot, please complete onboarding by February 28th.

About The ENGin Program

Location:

42 Highview Avenue #4, Stamford, CT 06907, US

Mission Statement

ENGin is a nonprofit organization changing the world one conversation at a time. We connect English-speaking volunteers age 13+ with motivated Ukrainians for online speaking practice and cross-cultural exchange. Through simple weekly virtual conversations, our volunteers make a huge impact - helping young people overcome the language barrier, offering friendship and emotional support, and introducing them to a new culture. In a time of extreme stress for Ukrainians, weekly one-on-one conversations offer a lifeline of normalcy.

Description

We help Ukrainian youth connect with the global community by empowering them to speak fluent, conversational English. Our work breaks down borders to catalyze Ukraine’s postwar reconstruction and longer-term economic and social development.

Our one-of-a-kind model is human-centered, personalized, and authentic. Through 1-on-1 conversation, we facilitate mutually beneficial relationships between students and volunteers, creating a virtuous cycle of growth and understanding. And by doing this at unprecedented scale - 44,000 participants and counting - we’re bridging cultures and fostering a more interconnected, empathetic world.
