Tea Groups

More than 65 years ago, International Neighbors began with a Tea Group when an American woman invited international friends to her home for coffee and conversation. This helped the guests feel more comfortable living in Ann Arbor, far away from their families.

Today, Tea Groups still welcome new friends each year. A small group of hosts stays the same and new guests join them every fall. It feels like a big family with grandmothers, mothers, and children together. Friendships are strong and last many years.

Tea Groups are named after old Ann Arbor neighborhoods, but members come from all over the area. Please choose all the times you are free to meet. Transportation help is available if you need it.
