About the International Visitor Leadership Program
The Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) is designed to build mutual understanding between the U.S. and other countries through carefully designed visits that reflect the participants' professional interests and support U.S. foreign policy goals. Participants are established or potential foreign opinion makers in government, public policy, media, education, labor, the arts, and other key fields. Selected by American embassies abroad, International Visitors come to the United States to meet and confer with their professional counterparts and to gain an appreciation of the ethnic, cultural, political, and socio-economic diversity of the U.S. The IVLP is carried out through close collaboration with seven non-profit program agencies in Washington, D.C. and a network of over 90 community-based organizations across the U.S. whose members arrange professional meetings, cultural activities and home hospitality for the visitors. Tens of thousands of Americans volunteer their time and expertise to strengthening relations between the United States and other countries through the International Visitor Leadership Program. In 2009, approximately 4,400 International Visitors participated in 761 projects through the program. More information is available at www.exchanges.state.gov.
