Founded by the Rehoboth Beach - Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce, the mission of the International Student Outreach Program (ISOP) is to work within the greater Lewes, Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach areas to create a hospitable community that welcomes and provides a safe environment for international students by offering meals, transportation, emergency assistance and fellowship. Led by the Lewes Rehoboth Association of Churches, local Chambers of Commerce, businesses and residents, ISOP is a faith-based initiative open to all volunteers.


The ISOP program is not operational for 2024.
