The English-Speaking Union of the United
States (ESU US) is a non-profit, non-political, educational organization
whose mission is to promote scholarship
and the advancement of knowledge through the effective use of English
in an expanding global community.
Headquartered in New York City, the ESU US implements programs through a
network
of 72 Branches across the United States. We share a common mission with
International ESUs in some 50 other nations and work together on education and exchange programs.
Our ESU US Members nation-wide participate in cultural and social events and provide financial
support to sustain our
educational programs at the Branch and National levels.
Members attend Branch events, host visiting
speakers and scholars in their communities, and volunteer to coordinate Branch participation in
our National
Shakespeare
Competition and scholarship
and exchange programs and serve as English in Action tutors.
Members can benefit
greatly from the personal relationships and international connections
gained from ESU activities.
