Mission Statement

Conversations Unbound (CU) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that empowers forcibly displaced individuals as paid online Arabic, Spanish, French, or German tutors for students around the world. We aim to create opportunities for displaced people to increase their agency and economic opportunities, while striving to provide a robust educational experience for students to improve their foreign language skills, engage in rich, cross-cultural dialogue, and think critically about forced displacement.

Description

We strive to reimagine humanitarian aid by centering individuals traditionally on the receiving-end of aid programming as the language tutor, the producer and provider of knowledge. By privileging the knowledge and expertise of our tutors, CU’s programs aim to equalize these traditional power dynamics whereby tutors and students can learn from each other by engaging in meaningful dialogue. Consequently, CU believes that empowering displaced communities means enabling these people to be able to increase both their agency and economic stability.
