Meet Nadiya Solnyk, an inspiring participant of the ENGin program!🌟
💬 "When I learned about ENGin from a friend, I was intrigued by the opportunity to learn English for free with native speakers. Little did I know it would become the best decision I've ever made," Nadia shares.
🌊 As her year with ENGin comes to a close, Nadia reflects on her journey. Initially nervous about being matched with an older mentor from the USA, those worries melted away as she and her mentor, Robie, quickly became close friends.
💬 "Robie is not just a mentor, she's family. Every session was filled with laughter, learning, and heartfelt conversations," Nadia reminisces. "She taught me that we have the power to shape our lives, regardless of circumstances."
✨ Nadia's ENGin experience has been a transformative adventure, blending English proficiency with genuine friendship. She extends her heartfelt gratitude to the ENGin program and everyone involved. "ENGin not only improves language skills but also connects hearts," Nadia affirms. 🌍💬
Want to support more students like Nadia? Our annual campaign is underway, and every contribution makes a difference! 🌐🇺🇦

🎉 ENGin is now open to ALL AGES! ENGin removes the upper age limit for students! 🤩
💻🇺🇦 Potential students and partners in Ukraine have been asking us to make this change for years, and we are happy to finally remove the upper age limit of 35 years of age for our students! Now all adult Ukrainians can join our program and improve their conversational English skills. 💫
🌟 We initially put an age limit to ensure a high level of service with our limited resources and to make sure we have enough resources to serve the children. We understand the frustration it caused and the importance of offering the opportunity to participate in our program to everyone. We've been working hard to find a solution, and we did it! 🤓
👆 The ENGin program itself remains completely free to all participants. However, to maintain our program's quality and expand our reach, we're introducing a one-time donation for new adult participants (aged 18+).
✨ This program enhancement represents a significant step forward for ENGin as we aim to empower a wider range of Ukrainians to achieve their English language aspirations and contribute to a brighter future for our country. We can't wait to see the positive impact these changes will bring. 🌐🇺🇦💻💫

🚀 Dive into ENGin Alumni, Denys Adamyak's, Journey!
Joining the ENGin program was an absolute game-changer for Denys! 🎉 From enhancing English skills, to gaining insights into American culture, it's been an adventure like no other. 📚 Thanks to his amazing volunteer, Milan, Denys not only sharpened his language proficiency but also delved deep into the intricacies of US history and society.
Through engaging conversations and immersive experiences, Denys found himself stepping into a world where learning English wasn't just a task, but a thrilling exploration. 🌐 His newfound confidence in the language opened doors to a career he hadn't imagined before. Now, he's thriving in a role that involves assisting semi-truck drivers with repairs and maintenance, all while effortlessly communicating with colleagues and clients alike.
But ENGin isn't just about language learning—it's about fostering connections, creating memories, and seizing opportunities. Denys urges everyone to take the plunge and experience the magic of ENGin themselves. ✨

👨💼 Meet Oleksandr Afanasiev, a young leader and professional aiming to change the world for the better.
🌐🤝 Oleksandr is an experienced individual in the fields of youth politics and international relations. He was a legal adviser to a Ukrainian political party, dealing with legislation and regulatory documents. For a long period of time, he was responsible for external affairs in a Ukrainian youth political organization and served as a delegate to one of the largest European youth political organizations – the Youth of the European People’s Party (YEPP). Recently, Oleksandr was elected to the Board of YEPP as the only Ukrainian representative and now holds the position of Vice President.
🎓 Furthermore, he has a very strong educational background. Oleksandr has completed two degrees: a Master of Law from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and a Master of Public Policy and Administration from Kyiv School of Economics. He has successfully completed two certificate programs from Ukrainian Catholic University in European Studies and American Politics. Oleksandr has participated in numerous educational programs in Ukraine and abroad, including being a scholar at the European Forum Alpbach.
💫💪 Despite having a good level of English, Oleksandr is willing to constantly improve it. Therefore, he believes that ENGin is a great opportunity to advance his speaking skills by practicing the language with native speakers. Oleksandr believes that participating in the program is a great opportunity to tell people abroad about the horrible tragedy unfolding in Ukraine. He is convinced that it is the duty of every Ukrainian to convey accurate messages and narratives about what is happening in their country, what they are fighting for, and why it’s also important for people who live far away.
🌎✨ Ready to make a difference? We invite you to join ENGin as a volunteer and become a buddy for individuals like Oleksandr, who aspire to create positive changes in the world. 🌟
