Multisite learning experiences in partnership with the U.S. State Department

The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) is the United States’ flagship professional exchange program. Each year, approximately 4,000 participants from around the world are selected by U.S. embassies to engage professional counterparts across the United States. The Presidential Precinct has been an IVLP host for more than a decade.

IVLP participants are selected through a nomination process by U.S. embassies and consulates.
