WHO COMES ON THE

EXCHANGE VISITOR PROGRAM?

 

Participants are young leaders eager to hone their skills, strengthen their English language abilities, connect with Americans, and learn more about the United States. Most individuals choosing to come to the United States on the Exchange Visitor Program are funded privately. The program includes a cultural component that gives participants the opportunity to engage more broadly with Americans and share their own cultures with their U.S. Host communities. They return home eager to stay connected, to expand their networks, and to explore future exchange opportunities as “citizen ambassadors.”

 

More than 300,000 participants from almost every country in the world come to the United States on the Exchange Visitor Program each year. Eighty-five percent are 30 years of age or younger. Fifty-five percent are women or girls.
