AMIS (the French word for 'friends') is pleased to announce its 3rd annual Afternoon of International Tea fundraiser!
Afternoon of International Tea
Saturday, April 25
2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
The Overlook at North Avenue Presbyterian Church
Tickets & Sponsorship: amisatlanta.org/tea
The 2026 Afternoon of International Tea will bring the AMIS community together with new and old friends to exchange stories of international friendship and cultural exchange, while enjoying a sampling of international beverages and bites from around the world. The Tea is a wonderful opportunity to meet young adults representing their countries from all over the world as they share about their cultures through their curated tables and art displays. This event will also feature an exciting silent auction, entertainment and more! The event is open to the public. Please help us spread the word with your networks that may be interested in purchasing tickets, donating silent auction items and/or sponsoring the event!
About 16,000 international students are in the greater Atlanta area annually. AMIS supports many of these international students at Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Emory, Kennesaw State, Oglethorpe, Spelman, Agnes Scott, Morehouse, Columbia Theological Seminary, Georgia Southwestern State, Beulah Heights, and others with programs to make them feel welcome and at home in Atlanta. Each year, we welcome and connect hundreds of international students with local American friends in the community through our programs and events, including the Amigo Friendship program, local tours and hikes, social and sporting events, and holiday experiences such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our Afternoon of International Tea is our only annual fundraiser, raising the funds needed for staff and programming so we can continue doing this important work.
With all that is going on in the world today, our programs help bring international university students out of the shadows and let them know they are welcome and valued. And, in this small way, AMIS gives everyone the ability to be welcoming world citizens.
