Our organization was founded in 1974 as an exchange program between scholars from the United States and the former Soviet Union. We’ve changed a lot since then. So has that part of the world. What’s remained the same is our determination to offer excellent educational opportunities and exchanges for the scholars, professionals, and language learners who are helping to shape the world. Today, our programs range from internships for emerging professionals in Albania to cultural exchanges for youth in 15+ Eurasian countries.
