Volunteer

There's a great opportunity for volunteering and helping International House -- become an English Tutor! A new training class starts August 17th! Click here to learn more.

International House relies on volunteers to fulfill our mission in Charlotte.  Every year hundreds of people give us the gift of their time, talent and expertise.  We invite you to become one of them! 

International House offers volunteers a variety of projects and interesting work, allowing them to play a role in promoting international understanding and helping people in our community.  If you have a skill you’d like to share – or one you’d like to develop – there’s a place for you at International House.   

Here are just a few of the ways you can serve as a volunteer:

• Teach an immigrant how to speak English.
• Manage projects (this is an ideal opportunity for those working towards special certifications and recognition in project management). 
• Keep our operations running smoothly through administrative and office tasks.
• Enhance the look of International House by painting, cleaning or landscaping our offices.
• Coordinate programs and itineraries for international visitors to Charlotte.
• Intern to learn and earn college credit. 
• Educate people about the work of International House at community events.
• Write grants.
• Share your knowledge and expertise in your field with a professional visiting from another country.
• Host international visitors for dinner or as a guest in your home.
