Reflecting on our busy summer, saying farewell to Yesenia, and sharing fall plans.

June went by in the blink of an eye and here we are in mid-July. We had our first YLAI cohort, welcomed our new Program Manager, and hosted several IVLPs

Welcoming YLAI Fellows, Leeanne, Yesenia, and more, bidding farewell to Jordan

Now as we welcome April 2023, we have passed the one year anniversary of our return to in person programming, which took place at the end of March 2022. Thank you to all who have been with us through these past three years, filled with uncertainty, innovation, and a constant striving to build connections between people - to make this world a better place.

We are delighted to share with you a little bit about our first programs of 2023, as well as the myriad ways to join us and make connections in the coming weeks and months.

While keeping each other safe, we have been fortunate to host some 224 people from all over the world in 27 distinct programs since our return to in-person exchanges in late March 2022.

Meet our new team members!! Clockwise from top left - Jordan Blough-Orr, Dante Jean, Jordan Lee and Nite Lawantrakool
