If you need a break from class or are interested in meeting other international students (as well as the One to World staff!), why not participate in a volunteer event?
On the November 17th – 19th, a total of 11 international students did just that: they contributed their time and effort at our West Broadway office to help with our year end mailing appeal. Ultimately, their efforts will help us to raise awareness and funds to ensure that the variety of programs we offer will continue to be available for you to enjoy!
As one of the perks of volunteering, the students had the opportunity to learn about American culture and each others’ experiences in the United States; the volunteers also had the chance to explore the area around West Broadway. Over lunch at a local restaurant, for example, the conversation topics were a great learning experience, ranging from the differences in the types of pasta offered on the menu to finding a part time job as an international student.
We think you’d enjoy volunteering with us too and would love it if you could stop by at one of our volunteering events the next time you have an hour to two to spare!

If you volunteered your time with us, we would love to hear what you think! Did you have the opportunity to interact and learn about new cultures from One To World staff and other volunteers? Are there many volunteer opportunities in your home country?
