Directory of U.S. Department of State- Educational and Cultural Exchange Opportunities
The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) supports the development of peaceful relations between the people of the United States and the people of other countries through educational, cultural, and professional exchanges that present U.S. history, society, art, and culture in all of its diversity to overseas audiences. ECA works in countries around the world in cooperation with the Public Affairs Sections of U.S. Embassies.
As the preeminent international service organization of the United States, the Peace Corps sends Americans abroad to tackle the most pressing needs of people around the world. Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) work at the grassroots level toward sustainable change that lives on long after their service—at the same time becoming global citizens and serving their country. When they return home, Volunteers bring their knowledge and experiences—and a global outlook—that enriches the lives of those around them.
Together, ECA and the Peace Corps have compiled this resource guide that outlines international exchange and scholarship opportunities for a variety of audiences, including Peace Corps Volunteers; students, counterparts, and other members of the communities in which the Peace Corps serves; Peace Corps post staff; and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs). The opportunities are free. Volunteers should not receive any compensation for assisting youth to identify or apply for them.
