“SWIPE has been a huge benefit to my work as an international program director at the high school level, since not enough specialized resources exist for us. The monthly webinars have covered an extensive variety of topics and have provided great food for thought. I regularly use the listserv to bounce questions off others, and I often even learn things I didn't know I needed to know! Most importantly, through my years of participation in SWIPE, I have gained several trusted professional friends who understand the challenges I face in my position. Through SWIPE, I have some go-to people to ask the hard questions, and in return, I can also be one of those people for others in the field.”

"SWIPE has been a helpful professional network for those of us working with international students at the secondary school level. The monthly Zoom meetings and listserv make it easy to ask questions, share ideas, and learn how other schools are handling policies, agencies, and program challenges. It is reassuring to know there is a group of experienced colleagues you can turn to when situations arise that aren't always clearly addressed elsewhere. I've also enjoyed connecting with other members while traveling internationally. It's a small field, and SWIPE helps make it feel more collaborative."

"SWIPE has been a wonderful way to meet new people who have vast years of experience and live in different parts of the country. We all have unique ministries or job working environments, but at the same time, we are all serving international students that we care about. I benefit from the camaraderie as I often feel like I am on an island at school. We help each other through tough situations and celebrate our successes."

In addition to all of the wonderful benefits listed at the top of the page, membership typically includes access to speaker shared resources, and any new material we release while you're subscribed.
-
A single membership can be used by up to three colleagues at your campus. If your district has multiple schools and programs, each program needs its own membership. For example, School District A has two campuses (high school and middle school) under one program, so it requires only one membership. In contrast, School District B has several schools, each with its own program, necessitating a separate membership for each.
