Friendship Partners / Conversation PartnersInternational Students, Inc. provides free Friendship Partners ... an American individual or family who will meet you in person once or twice each month to befriend you and to help you learn about American culture. A Conversation Partner is similar, but with more emphasis on helping you improve your English. This person will typically meet you for about one hour each week. If you are an international student in the Portland area and you would like to have a Friendship or Conversation Partner, please contact us to sign up. |

Group Activities
International Students, Inc. sponsors several groups and fun activities for international students. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, at this time our gatherings happen either in small numbers or on Zoom. When it's safe to do so, we plan to resume our groups in Northeast Portland, Newberg, Vancouver, and the Hillsboro/Forest Grove area.
These groups give you the opportunity to build friendships with Americans and with other internationals. All international students are welcome! For more information, please contact us.
