The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP) is the Department of State’s premier professional exchange program. The IVLP annually brings approximately 5,000 emerging leaders from around the world to the United States to participate in professional projects with U.S. peers and to gain firsthand experience of American society and culture.
The IVLP partners with the NCIV network, which consists of nearly 80,000 American “citizen diplomats” who host international visitors in communities across the United States. As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, the NCIV and Department of State have launched the “Gold Stars” tour, which honors 18 returning international visitors, who were selected based on the significant achievements they made in their countries or local communities. The “Gold Stars” delegation will return to their original host communities around the U.S. and showcase how their participation in the international exchange program helped shape their work in their home country.
