Volunteer to help Ukrainians learn English

Balakun

Balakun connects Ukrainian students who want to learn English with fluent English speakers (mentors) from around the world who want to support Ukraine in a practical way. Mentors can contribute from their own homes, and it costs only their time.

In a time of war, learning English is not only about practicing a skill set: it is a way to communicate with the Western world.

Balakun offers volunteers the chance to teach on a one-on-one basis or in a group setting, including for specific occupations (medical, IT, business).

ENGin

ENGin is a nonprofit advancing social and economic development in Ukraine by building a critical mass of globally connected, English-fluent citizens. Our innovative online program pairs English-speaking volunteers with Ukrainians of all ages for weekly videochat conversations.

In just 1 hour a week, our volunteers make a huge impact – helping their conversation partners break the language barrier, offering friendship and emotional support, and introducing them to a new culture. No tutoring experience or knowledge of Ukrainian necessary: we welcome all English speakers age 13+ and provide the training and resources you need!
