Empower forcibly displaced people as paid online conversation partners
Conversation partners are exceptional individuals who share the love of their language and passion for their culture with their students.
They are originally from Syria, Iraq, Mexico, Venezuela, the United States, Burkina Faso, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Conversation partners receive 100% of their earnings
Unlike every language-learning program out there, Conversations Unbound does not take a comission from the conversation partners. Conversation partners receive 100% of the money they earn from each session.
We believe in empowering displaced communities.
Conversations unbound was founded in 2015 to provide livelihood support for forcibly displaced people, while also meaningfully engaging students in the global issue of forced displacement.
Conversations Unbound is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
