building partnerships through the exchange of ideas and knowledge.

IVC's volunteer Citizen Diplomats--our home and professional hosts--welcome visitors into their boardrooms, classrooms, town halls, homes and hearts helping promote future exchange, trade and peace.  As an IVC Citizen Diplomat, you can learn about other parts of the world and help break down the barriers that divide us.
