The University of Cincinnati has a host program for incoming international students called the UC International Friendship Program. The YMCA of Greater Cincinnati is an active participant in this program. As a participant in the program you will be paired with a newly arrived international student with whom you may visit, enjoy an occasional meal, celebrate holidays, participate in community sports and cultural events, or just relax in conversation. This will be an opportunity for you to share American life with an international student and to learn first hand about another culture.

If you are interested in learning more about the program or are interested participating, information brochures and application forms can be downloaded from the links below.
