Conversation Cafes
What are Conversation Cafes?
Conversation Cafés are monthly gatherings where volunteers help our students practice English through relaxed conversation over food and fellowship. With conversation prompts and refreshments provided, it’s an easy and enjoyable way for the Christian community to serve and love our international neighbors while helping students grow in fluency.
Helping at a Conversation Café is easy. The commitment is just one hour on site, and no teaching skills are required—simply come ready to talk and encourage our students as they practice English. We provide the conversation prompts, refreshments, and a welcoming space to connect.
