Our Mission
We are a volunteer organization striving to connect kids who want to learn English with volunteers who are willing to help. Ukrainian children are facing situations that make it difficult to attend school, especially if displaced from their home. Therefore, we are utilizing the power of video meetings to bring the classroom to them. Our organization offers many different classes, some structured as traditional educational courses, while others are casual games. Participants in each class speak English to improve their vocabulary and understanding. Learning English at a young age helps kids interact with their world and opens up many possibilities for the future.
Our Goals
We strive to provide a platform where kids can learn English in whatever topics they are most interested in; whether it’s history, math, reading or word games. We are gathering volunteers around the world who have at least a conversational grasp of the English language so they talk about these subjects with kids. Initially we are focusing our efforts on Ukrainian children impacted by the invasion. In the future, we hope to expand this program to other countries.
Our Team
_
Dasha & Kyle
Dasha grew up in Dnipro, Ukraine. We started this program because we wanted to support Ukrainians during the invasion. We were given the opportunity to host a class of students while the schools were closed during the first month of the war. This experience was extremely rewarding and now we are helping to connect hundreds of volunteers with thousands of students. Every little bit of support helps.
Asya
The spark that lit the fire, Asya was the initiator of this effort. She asked her friends who teach in Ukraine how she can support the kids. They came up with the idea of having an English speaker chat with the class to help take their mind off their troubles, while learning some English at the same time.
Admin Team
NAME and NAME are our administrators in Ukraine who volunteer their time to answer questions from parents and volunteers to keep classes running smoothly.
