About

IYF English Camp is a short-term Christian volunteering initiative that strives to teach English and plant hope in foreign countries.

Through a diverse blend of language learning programs, short-term volunteers expose students of all ages to English and the basics of American culture. Through obstacles and limitations, they gain experiences and confidence that give them a new-found perspective on their futures. At the same time, IYF English Camp volunteers discover the joy and happiness that stems from serving others.

How IYF English Camp started

IYF’s first foray into language learning began in 2001 with the National English Speech Contest in Korea. Over 19,500 students have entered the Contest to date. Given such a positive response by the public, IYF began operating English Camp in 2002 with students from South Korea. As of 2012, English Camp has expanded to 13 different countries such as Brazil, Togo, Mexico, and most recently, Haiti. The 2012 IYF English Camp in Delmas, Haiti recruited 7000 Haitian natives to learn English and apply it in practical situations. Hope keeps getting delivered.
