Get Involved – Help International Students

Every year, nearly 1 million undergraduates and scholars from around the world arrive to study at American universities. Most are studying to become future world leaders in science, business, and government when they return home.

However, these students (some as young as 18) often struggle with culture shock, stress, and loneliness when leaving their homes to study in the US.  Learn how you can help International Friendships, Inc. (IFI) in Columbus provide life-changing hospitality and friendship to international students.
