WHO WE ARE & What we stand for

Americans for Cultural Exchange is an organizing initiative of American businesses, chambers of commerce, academic institutions, associations, and community leaders who embrace and support the U.S Department of State’s BridgeUSA programs, including the following program categories:

  • Summer Work Travel (SWT)

  • Intern

  • Trainee

  • Camp Counselor

  • Au Pair

  • Teacher

  • High School (Secondary School Student)

We’re advocating for strong and continued cultural exchange programs. These programs are a win-win for American diplomacy and security, and for American businesses and local economic development.

The Americans for Cultural Exchange initiative is coordinated by the Alliance for International Exchange and is working to ensure BridgeUSA programs continue to thrive and support America’s diplomatic, national security, and economic interests.

Americans for Cultural Exchange was selected as a finalist for the 2018 PIEoneer of the Year award, which recognizes innovation and excellence in the field of international education.
