International Friendship Program
IFP encourages the exchange of culture and friendship between
Americans and international students.
The goal of IFP is to help change the world through relationships. Imagine how the world could be impacted if people would take the time to understand others who are different from themselves. If you are new to this country and looking for a “home away from home,” IFP can help make this happen!
Your American partner will have you in their home to share meals, family holidays; and other special activities. Together you will learn about each other's life, values, and culture.
IFP can also help you as you acclimate to a new culture. IFP provides an opportunity to open up your world and make room for life changing friendships!
