Our Participants

Nominated by American embassies abroad to participate in the IVLP, international visitors have already established themselves as innovative and creative individuals well on their way to becoming future leaders in a variety of fields. In fact, over 500 current or former heads of state or government are counted among IVLP alumni.
Through professional meetings with their American counterparts, synergies of interest and exchange form, enhancing mutual learning and understanding and suggesting future points of collaboration and mutual engagement.
Through their American travels, these visitors engage with American people in all their diversity and particularities, from the halls of power in Washington D. C. to the potlucks and fellowships in Minot church basements or the cultural celebration of a New Town powwow.
