"Working to Develop a Spirit of International Peace and Understanding"
At Spirit Cultural Exchange, our mission is to encourage young people from a variety of cultures and backgrounds to take advantage of the extraordinary benefits of international exchange. Through travel, work experience and the sharing of ideas and perspectives, Spirit participants gain a better understanding of themselves and the world around them – working together to develop a spirit of international peace and understanding.
Based in the Chicago area and staffed by professionals with many years of experience in cultural exchange, Spirit is dedicated to providing participants with the personal attention and extra support necessary to make each experience the best it can be.
Spirit Cultural Exchange is designated by the United States Department of State as an Exchange Visitor Program Sponsor for the Work/Travel Program.
Spirit is also a member of the World Youth Student & Educational Travel Confederation (WYSE) and WYSE Work Abroad Association.Spirit in the News:
