About IFI

Our Mission

Our goal is to match every international student with a local friend. No program can replace a genuine friendship.

We work closely with local churches to help mobilize their congregations into cross-cultural friendships.

We are committed to providing resources and training to improve our volunteers’ cultural understanding.

We hold ourselves to high standards for accountability and transparency.
