Host a Meeting
Join the hundreds of businesses, nonprofits, and government offices that volunteer to host our international visitors each year. Meetings are informal, off the record, and last about 60-90 minutes. They are conducted in English with the assistance of interpreters.
Hosting IVLP participants strengthens the cultural competency of your organization and gives your staff insights on global trends of your industry.
Host a Dinner
Be a “Dinner Diplomat!” IVLP Home Hospitality offers you the opportunity to host small dinner events in your home for two or more visitors. Home Hospitality isn’t complicated. There’s no need to plan anything particularly fancy. The goal is simply that you open your home, share your time, interest, and a meal (or just coffee) with our international guests. What matters most is a spirit of warm, welcoming hospitality.
