International Friends

Welcome!

International Friends offers help and friendship to our international neighbors. All nationalities are welcome. We offer many classes and activities in easy English, especially for international adults and children. One of our staff members speaks Japanese, and we have the ability to translate materials into Japanese, Korean, German, and Spanish when needed.

All the staff and team members are eagerly waiting to welcome our new friends and see our old friends again. We are so happy you will be with us. Have you arrived in America recently? Do you need information or some kind of assistance to begin your life here? Please call at 248-624-7676 ext.115 if we can help you in any way.

COVID Protocols for International Friends In-Person Classes

We will follow all the most up to date Oakland County and CDC Guidelines in order to keep everyone safe.  Please see as follows.

International Friends will:

  1. Take the temperature of everyone entering any building we have class;
  2. Ask the COVID related screening questions;
  3. Social Distance (6 feet/3 meters) within the buildings;
  4. Have hand sanitizer readily available;
  5. Regularly sanitize restrooms and all common use areas (door handles, chairs, clipboards, etc.).

Because of COVID protocols we cannot offer any beverages.  Please bring your own beverage with a lid. 

Snacks for you only are okay.  If you want to bring snacks for a group, they must be pre-packaged individually wrapped.
