  • About Friendship Community Project

    Friendship Community Project's teachers and students.

    Friendship Community Project is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit, founded in 2015, dedicated to teaching English language and life skills to Iowa City area adult immigrants and refugees.

    We teach English language skills necessary for success. We also promote a sense of community belonging and practical assistance in accessing local resources and learning about our community, serving as an anchor for those new to the community and culture who have not yet formed local ties. Extra curricular activities include a help desk, conversation groups, tutoring in special situations, and conversation partners.
