In our conversation partner program, students are matched with an English-speaking volunteer
​to practice English conversation & communication skills one-on-one.

Conversation Partner Program

In this program, students meet one-to-one with a trained volunteer to improve their vocabulary, pronunciation, & communication skills. These partnerships allow students to practice their English in a real-life way & gain confidence in the conversation skills required to succeed in New York.

To sign up as a student, please contact Teresa Lintner at teresa.lintner@catholiccharitiesny.org.
