Global Cultural Exchange's Mission Statement: The mission of Global Cultural Exchange is to promote cultural awareness, knowledge and global competence among people from around the world, offering volunteer placements and exchange visit programs worldwide. Part of our mission also is to encourage young people (youths and students) from a variety of cultures and background to take advantage of the extraordinary benefits of international exchange programs. We believe that the best way to eliminate fear and prejudice among nations is to experience directly other cultures, languages, and customs through immersion.
Year Founded: 2006
Global Cultural Exchange is a No based organization. We do not require our participants to be of the same faith. Our volunteers will not be involved in religious proselytizing.
