    Let the Friends Help You!

    Friends of Davis International Center of Princeton University want to help you feel more comfortable speaking English and learning about American customs and traditions. Our volunteers and hosts will make it possible for you to make new American and international friends.

    The Friends offer several free programs to meet your needs.

    • If you want to practice English while also socializing with other international graduate students and spouses, then click on Group English Conversation.
    • If you are a graduate student or visiting scholar and want to practice English with your own individual tutor, then click on Individual English Conversation. If space permits, some spouses may also be assigned a tutor.
    • If you and your spouse want to get to know an American family, then click on Host Program.

    The Friends Need Volunteers!

    Friends of Davis International Center is seeking new volunteers to become tutors and hosts. Our volunteers represent varying ages and backgrounds, but they all share the same dedication—helping international graduate students, visiting scholars and their families meet the daily challenges of living and studying in a foreign country.

    Since 1979, Friends volunteers have been:

    • Inviting international graduate students and scholars, along with their spouses and families, into our homes for dinners and gatherings.
    • Meeting on campus in small groups to practice English conversation and socialize.
    • Offering individual tutoring to international graduate students and scholars who want to improve their English skills.
    • Creating intercultural understanding by serving as the volunteer wing of Davis International Center of Princeton University.

    Above all, we offer the greatest gift of all — friendship.

    If sharing your knowledge, experience and friendship with grateful members of the international community interests you, then consider joining us in becoming a Friends volunteer.
