At South Coast Literacy Council, we are so happy to have found Intercambio. We have a large program, and the materials and support provided by Intercambio are exactly what we need to make our program accessible to as many volunteer teachers and learners as possible.
New Network Product!
The Intercambio Network
Join The (reimagined) Intercambio Network, now available.
Everything You Need to Build, Strengthen, and Grow a Welcoming Adult ESOL Program
Intercambio Network Membership gives you the structure, training, and support to build, strengthen, and grow a program that lasts – whether you’re just getting started, refining your approach, or expanding across sites. The training and resources offered through The Intercambio Network are backed by 25+ years of real program experience, developed and tested through Intercambio’s own community-based English program, which has served thousands of students and teachers over more than two decades.
You asked. We listened.
We’ve evolved Network Membership to better reflect what programs across the country told us they need most: less overwhelm, more training and support, and tools that work in real classrooms. The Intercambio Network will help you save time, support your team, and strengthen your program.

Members of the Intercambio Network are invited to monthly events. Information about registering for events is sent directly to Network Members. Join our Network today for exclusive access.

What People are Saying
South Coast Literacy Council
We were excited to discover that The Intercambio Network existed! Intercambio has their own materials for English teachers and continuously works to improve them. We were looking to expand our community and to be a part of something bigger. Meeting with other teachers encourages us to look at our own work and continue to grow.
Patty L.
Amigos
Thank you so much for meeting with us last night! It was a great example of the care and support Intercambio provides; makes us feel like we’re all partners here.
Matt V.
Chantilly Bible Church
I love each of the new improvements that Intercambio makes to the program. We are using your series as our primary instructional tool and the assessments are spot on with identifying the correct level for the student to start. The lessons are easy to follow even for the newest tutors.
Dianne A.
Walworth County Literacy Council
Our call with you [was so helpful]. It shifted [our] thinking and we had a great volunteer orientation on Monday and have some retired teachers or those willing to learn. So now to organize a teacher training and how to offer continued support.
