Our programs build bridges across cultures, foster real dialogue, and promote global understanding.
Each year, we host over 400 emerging leaders and entrepreneurs from hundreds of countries, through our exchange programs. Meet one group from Lebanon who visited Oregon in this video.
- WorldOregon annually offers 30-40 public programs, featuring experts and visionaries from across the globe.
- We provide assistance to hundreds of K-12 students and teachers in the region, amplifying their important work of teaching youth to become citizens of the world!
From our community:
“Every (WorldOregon) speaker has made an impression on me. They have each required me to examine my own belief system, as well as encouraged me to speak out in situations that I may have remained quiet in the past.”
- Colleen, WorldOregon member
“Hosting international visitors at my nonprofit organization has left a profound impact on me and the work I do.”
- anonymous nonprofit host from Oregon
“(WorldOregon) International exchanges allow you to develop your personality, character and hidden talents. They help you meet people instead of remaining within four walls. Exchanges help you shape your future. It helps you become a "complete" person.”
- Luciano Azor, WorldOregon program visitor from Mauritius
