Global Connections seeks volunteers to befriend international visitors

University Park, Pa. -- Global Connections, formerly the International Hospitality Council, needs volunteers for its International Friendship Program. In the program, volunteers will be matched with an individual, couple or family from another country, getting together once or twice a month for friendship and cultural exchange -- meeting for coffee and conversation, including them in family activities such as sharing a meal together, going pumpkin picking or attending an event. No housing is involved.

Those who welcome internationals often form a long-lasting friendship that stretches across the borders of their countries.

To participate in the International Friendship Program, complete an application online at http://www.international.psu.edu/gc or contact the Global Connections office at globalconnections@ip.psu.edu or (814) 863-3927.
