    What we do

    English Club

    Volunteer hosts open up their homes once a week to provide warm hospitality and a consistent time and place to cultivate relationships and for English practice. The night features food, games, and conversation – and thereby cultivates deeper relationships.

    Ladie's Nights

    Many women from non-Western cultural traditions enjoy the opportunity to mingle and interact with other women from diverse backgrounds.

    Men's Activities

    International men can interact with men from the local community through sports, miniature golf, and other activities.​

    Cultural Events

    Activities such as a Thanksgiving Dinner, a Christmas party, and an Easter party, among other fun events offer people from many different nations a chance to learn the story and customs behind holidays, practice conversation, and just have fun.
