ISI Monterey welcomes YOU! ISI is made up of many caring people who have a genuine interest in getting to know you and learning about your culture while sharing their own with you. A few of us hold staff positions with ISI, and you may hear from us more than others. There are many more who support us and look forward to meeting and supporting you as well. (Please go to Meet our Volunteers to get a fuller picture.)
We are thrilled to get to know you, help some with English, cross-cultural and life issues, and assist others in many different ways while learning from you as well. We invite you to say hello. Go to Talk To Us and send us a quick email to introduce yourself or make a special request of any kind.
If you are just planning your travel to Monterey to study, please send all initial inquiries to John & Joyce Steers.

John & Joyce Steers ISI Monterey Staff Email: jsteers@isiwebnet.net John & Joyce have been volunteering with ISI Monterey for 16 years, and John has been on staff with ISI for the past 3 years. They have both invested their own time, energy and lives into many international students over the years. Although they have five (grown) children of their own, many of these internationals have become just like sons and daughters to them and they remain in close contact with them even when they are long gone from Monterey. Passion: God, Jesus, the great outdoors and all things international. Result: Living lives for Jesus, loving others with His heart and taking great joy in sharing that love with others.

Dale & Carolyn DePalatis ISI Monterey Staff Email: isimonterey@gmail.com (For general clarification, please know that Dale & Carolyn are transitioning out of the local ISI ministry as they head for China. Any need for direct interaction should be sent to John & Joyce Steers. Thank you.) Dale & Carolyn have been working with ISI for 17 years, first as volunteers and then, for the last 12+ years, on staff. Dale also is a high school English teacher in the area. Both are Stanford University graduates (where they met and fell in love!), and Carolyn completed her MA in Japanese Translation & Interpretation at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. They both have lived and traveled several places overseas, but now make Monterey their home with their three children, Justin (12), Erika (10) and Luke (6). Passion: God, Jesus, family and all things international…oh yes, and dark chocolate! Result: Living lives for Jesus, loving others with His heart, delighting in parenting…and eating high-quality chocolate while doing it!
