THIS SPECIAL SESSION WILL BE HELD IN-PERSON. This month, we will plan an outdoor activity together, to enjoy the spring weather and explore NYC! Join your ISSO English Conversation friends in virtual sessions in April to research and vote on which fun activity to do on April 21. Potential ideas include: a walking tour of the High Line, a tram ride to and picnic on Roosevelt Island, a visit to a different borough like Brooklyn or Queens, or more!
**Please note that depending on the activity chosen by participants, the date for this event may change from Tuesday 10am to a different time during the same week. In the case of rain, the activity may be rescheduled.
Details and registration will be sent directly to international spouses/ partners who attended at least ONE (1) ISSO English Conversation virtual session between February - April 2026.
