Swap Home
Greetings, and welcome to Swap! If you're interested in volunteering with Swap for the Fall 2024 semester, please click HERE!
Swap is a student-run, grassroots initiative that builds bridges of support and solidarity between Swap volunteers, campus employees, and international students in the Boulder community.
Our mission is to bring together systematically divided campus sectors to share a common learning and cultural experience. This is accomplished by providing free and convenient English language tutoring as well as help CU employees develop skills like computer literacy. We believe our front-line employees hold underappreciated yet indispensable positions throughout the campus. Swap also provides conversation partners to CU International English Center (IEC) students, with the goal of helping provide our international friends with the tools to be productive and self-sufficient members of the Boulder community. Swap is a proud program of CU Engage
