The organization remains dedicated to maintaining an open dialogue among students and teachers of the united states and others around the world.

community development programs - the organization's core values include a belief in strengthening communities and belief in a grassroots approach to solving community problems. Developing an understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizens while building the capacity, confidence, and skills of program participants is at the heart of the organization's community development programs. Through educational workshops, training seminars and hands-on-community development projects, these initiatives build skills in effective communications, leadership and coalition building. Community development programs truly illustrate the organization's vision of empowering individuals of all ages to help build healthier communities.

professional development programs - professional development programs involve direct observation and hands-on, results-oriented professional training with counterparts in a host country community. Participants receive specific skills and ideas necessary to expand professional knowledge and expertise. These exchange-based programs enable delegates to experience policy and practice in action in communities across the united states as well as other host countries providing recent best-practice experience. Program themes have included economic development, community policing, environmental protection, youth advocacy, women's leadership, arts and culture and more. Activities include site visits, hands-on practice, job shadowing, and collaborative exchange. Host family stays often round out these programs, fostering a mutual sharing of perspectives and experiences. The organization supports professional programs that offer long-term possibilities for collaboration and foster sustainable professional relationships among participants.

information technology programs - since 1996, the organization has been actively engaged in technology development and training programs. Whether working with schools or with community groups, the organization incorporates information and communication technologies (ict) as indispensable tools for creating and nurturing an informed, civil society. The organization facilitates hundreds of online forums that support professional development, cross-culture exchange, and innovative solutions to community challenges. This access to information and expression brings infinite possibilities for education, intercultural dialogue and professional development. Programs focus on practical skills development, together with critical thinking. As a result, participants are better informed consumers and producers of media, ready to serve as advocates for positive change within their own communities.
