Conversation Partner Program (Fall, Winter, Spring quarters)

A great opportunity to get an excellent language exchange with American volunteers, Conversation Partners is a free program available to Seattle Central Institute of English students through the International Activities Office of Seattle Central Community College's International Education Programs. Conversation Partners matches international students with other students on campus or community volunteers for informal language and cultural exchanges. Conversation Partners usually meet about two hours a week for one quarter. Partners are matched by the International Activities Office staff. The staff is available for questions and guidance for the Conversation Partners. The International Activities Office gives the students and volunteers brief cultural awareness training and material useful in encouraging dialogue.
