Conversation Partners - A weekly, one-on-one time between Americans and international students who want to improve their English and meet Americans. The partners meet anywhere and talk about anything they choose. Cross-cultural friendship can begin this way.
Contact Jeff Nelson at isiwa@comcast.net

Friendship Partners - Friendships develop through monthly meetings inside or outside an American home, with weekly phone or email contact made between the Americans and the international students.
Contact Simon Zeigler at isiseattle@aol.com

Professional Partners - Another way to develop friendships is through Americans mentoring international students who are preparing to enter the same profession. They meet each other on or off the job site.
