What We Do

Founded in April 2020, Interverse Educational Outreach is a 501(c)(3) high school student-run nonprofit organization dedicated to breaking language barriers and connecting people around the world by teaching English as a second language online through two primary components: one-on-one conversations and original educational resources. With our target audience mainly being students from elementary school to the collegiate level, we strive to empower and provide resources for international students to jumpstart their lives and careers in English-speaking countries.
