FOREIGN ENGLISH MENTORSHIP ORGANIZATION
~ To speak a language, is to take on a world of culture ~
Foreign English Mentorship Organization (FEMO) is a non-profit volunteer organization that helps foreign students improve their conversational English through live calls. FEMO works daily to pair up native English speakers with international college students based on similar interests, in order to optimize this educational experience for members around the world!
While American volunteers can earn easy and convenient service hours, international students will develop a better understanding of the English language in a fun and interactive platform!

LESSON PLANS
Book a lesson with an American volunteer of your choice to discuss topics of interest, communicate personal views and experiences, exchange cultural differences, and establish international friendships!
Listen to two American volunteers speaking to each other in a normally-paced, English conversation. Students in the lesson may ask questions if needed, but this lesson plan is mostly an experience to listen and learn English!
Practice reading comprehension and conversation in this guided lesson plan to prepare for any upcoming English exams. Read intriguing articles and engage in educational discussions with an American volunteer!

“It was a great conversation ever!! I could have the chance to exchange our culture differences...could get to know the ‘real English’ that American students use daily*. It was great practice in my speaking.”
- foreign Japanese student of FEMO
Volunteers participating in this program may earn as much as 40 service hours per week through live video lessons with their partnered foreign students, all from the comfort of their home AND on their own schedule. Participate in our one-on-one lessons, two-on-one lessons, and even guide an educational planned lesson with foreign students similar in age for interactive and cultural volunteer hours!
"It's been really fun to talk with a variety of people! Everyone is very kind and patient."
