Cultural Vistas is a nonprofit exchange organization promoting global understanding and collaboration among individuals and institutions. Cultural Vistas was officially incorporated as a nonprofit in 1963, and since then has grown into the leading exchange organization of its kind – with a focus on providing a professional experience – now helping more than 6,000 students, professionals, and emerging world leaders to make the world a better, more peaceful, and collaborative place each year. They believe that sustained immersion in a country and language and professional experience, even more than travel or study abroad, promotes confidence and skills that create successful careers and nurture leaders, whether they are community activists or change agents at a global level. Every year their 30-plus unique exchange programs reach thousands of individuals and organizations in the United States and more than 130 countries worldwide.
