Since 1990 ISI Santa Cruz has offered friendship and practical help for all international students, scholars and their families at the University of California Santa Cruz and Cabrillo Community College. Volunteers from 14 local Christian churches do airport pickups, temporary housing,weekly Conversation Partners, monthly Friendship Partners, etc. Help our culture-deprived Americans share the adventure of getting to meet great international leaders like you!
Friendship activities: Parties, Game Nights, International Movies, Banana Slug hikes, etc.
And, for those students/scholars interested, activities to explore Christianity.
And now, a word from our Sponsor... "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." Philippians 4:8
