International Institute of Wisconsin
The International Institute of Wisconsin is looking for dinner hosts who understand the value of hospitality!
Through our International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), we welcome delegates to Wisconsin each month. They are brought to the U.S. by the Department of State to participate in professional exchanges. These delegates are emerging leaders in their home countries representing a variety of fields: global economics, agriculture, law enforcement, STEM, education, journalism, government, judiciary, youth, women's leadership.
Delegates travel to 3-4 cities across the States in a period of approximately 30 days. During their visit, the delegates enjoy the opportunity to sit down and share a meal with American citizens. Meals may be home-cooked, pot-lucks, picnics, or BBQs.
If you are interested in hosting 3-4 visitors for dinner during 1 night, please contact us for further details.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
