Enabling global experiences.

Sparking global awareness.

Creating global connectivity.

Encouraging global responsibility.

We believe that each of you should have the opportunity to participate in a meaningful intercultural experience. For some, it will mean living and working in another country, far from your home. For others, it will mean sharing your home, business, or community -- and your culture -- with exchange participants from abroad.

International exchange will broaden your global awareness, empower you with intercultural connections, and provide you a lifelong connection to the international community.

We are committed to helping each of you build cultural understanding and global skills—one person at a time, one experience at a time.

We are at the intersection of you and the world.

Thought Leadership

Using our commitment to excellence and best practices to inspire others to commit to the same.

Philanthropy
