Organizations
Connexions International (CXI)
Event Co-organizer
In the 1970's volunteers began tutoring international students, scholars, and their families in English. This volunteer initiative grew into what is now Connexions International. In 2006, CXI was incorporated as a non-profit organization and its mission is to serve international students, scholars, and their families through English classes, conversation partners activities, cultural and social events, sightseeing, and workshops that teach quilting, painting and other skills. Relying on volunteers who are interested in meeting people from other cultures, Connexions' vision is to see God's grace transforming the world through the people we serve.
