The International Friendship Program is a collaborative effort between the IVC and the University of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky University. The program provides international students with an off-campus friend for the duration of their time in Greater Cincinnati.

Host "friends" serve as someone with whom an international student can enjoy an occasional meal, celebrate holidays, attend community, sports and cultural events, or just relax in conversation. It is an opportunity for international students to experience life in the United States in a non-university setting and to learn first-hand about our culture.

If you would like to participate in the International Friendship Program, please contact us.
