NEWS THIS MONTH

Celebrating 25 Years of the Americans With Disabilities Act

July marked the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). CIEE is proud to be a partner with Mobility International USA (MIUSA), an organization that empowers people with disabilities to achieve human rights through international exchange and international development.

Program Spotlight: Camp Exchange USA

The Camp Exchange USA program brings international exchange to summer camps around the U.S. We visited three summer camps in our home state of Maine - Kingsley Pines, Wyonegonic, and Takajo - to learn more about the experience of our international summer camp counselors returning for another summer in the U.S.
