The VIRUS Made us VIRAL!
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has practically halted international education and travel, CXI teachers and volunteers adapted. We are now offering classes and programs online in addition to our in-person and hybrid activities in the Twin Cities!
New at CXI: Faith and Fitness

English One-2-One
We are excited to be starting a new, individualized, English learning experience. We call it English One-2-One, and it’s not a class, and it’s not a program—it’s truly an experience!
The purpose of One-2-One is to meet international students, scholars and families and to connect them with CXI volunteers, to grow a friendship, and provide a personal connection while teaching English language skills and, where appropriate, sharing God’s grace in a relaxed setting.
In the current COVID pandemic world, we One-2-One volunteers strive to provide a personal experience one hour a week for a six week time frame. They arrange to utilize remote meetings, such as through Zoom or Google Meet, or even meeting in person following the CDC and State of MN MDH health guidelines.
Teachers: Various volunteers.
To participate or volunteer: contact Katherine Martin, Connexions One-2-One coordinator (katherine@cxiumn.org)
World ConneXions English
World Connections English is a distance English learning program offered and supported by our native speaker volunteer teachers. Classes meet weekly and are held online using Zoom or Google Meet. We have a growing number of volunteer teachers and at the moment are offering more than 12 classes in Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced levels with a variety of topics for you to choose.
Teachers: Various volunteers.
