WELCOME STUDENTS
Will you be the first US American to greet an international student upon his or her arrival? Take the chance to make a great first impression for Christ and our country!
Be a part of an international student's first and/or best impression of the US. Host one or two students at a time (or more as you are able and available).
Welcome new internationals just before classes start. Come and meet new students and join the fun -- Enjoy conversation, games and food!
BEFRIEND CURRENT STUDENTS
Meet one or two internationals to share in typical life activities. Partners keep in touch weekly and get together once a month. Include your partner(s) in special events, or show them around the city and area.
Develop friendships with internationals through events, trips, and activities! Serve at an upcoming event or plan your own. Show internationals the beauty of America by traveling locally, regionally, and nationally.
Get to know students by starting or supporting a group! IFI strives to offer groups as diverse as the students we serve. Many students are eager to learn about Jesus, life issues, hobbies and worldviews.
Add some international flavor to your holiday celebration by inviting some international students to share your holiday meal with you, your family and/or your friends!
