Membership

Welcome to the ESU...

The English-Speaking Union of the United States is a membership organization whose mission is carried out locally by the efforts of Branch members.  As an ESU member, you are contributing both financially and personally to programs that enrich the lives of students and educators through a diverse range of local and national programs.  Additionally, members expand their own social network by being invited to cultural and social events, speakers and book author events, regional and national events as well as invitations to international travel opportunities.

Join the ESU on our new website here.

Together, let's bring the mission of the The English-Speaking Union, Education, Scholarship, and Understanding, to the great Pennsylvania Midstate.  As an ESU member, you'll enrich the lives of students, educators, and all Central Pennsylvanians by bringing diverse programs celebrating British and American culture to The Midstate.  Members expand their own social network by attending social events, speaker events, and author events; ESU regional and national events; and by taking part in international travel opportunities as well.
