Become a mentor at the VIVA program
VIVA is a program of the Educational Council that provides social and academic support to Spanish-speaking school students and their families on the southeast side of Columbus. The resources offered include bilingual tutorials, a bilingual after-school program, and semiannual family and community events.

Conversation Partners Program
Conversation Partners Program
Sponsored by American Language Program
The American Language Program (English as a Second Language) is recruiting Conversation Partners for our international students.
As a conversation partner, you can offer our international students the chance to converse in a relaxed and non-academic atmosphere with a native English speaker. We ask that conversation partners commit to spending at least one hour per week (for summer quarter only) with his/her international partner. If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to CPP@mail.esl.ohio-state.edu (Lisa Swaim) for more information.
