Programs
At CIEE, we’re committed to helping you develop an international program that meets the unique needs of your organization’s mission and objectives. If you can dream it, we can make it happen! Some of the nearly endless possibilities include:
Civic Leadership Conferences
Sponsor an innovative, action-oriented conference engaging university students in support of democratic institutions and preparing them for leadership roles in their neighborhoods, cities, and regions. Your support for citizen diplomats just beginning their careers can inspire a generation to make a tangible difference.
Professional Internships
Support international economic development by funding professional internships for talented university students. In addition to providing invaluable U.S. business experience, formation of an alumni network upon return will foster an enduring connection to American culture and democratic values.
Scholarships
Establish scholarships for international students to complete an intensive summer curriculum in global entrepreneurship hosted at a leading U.S. university. We’ll work with you to design the program, identify acceptance criteria, and select participants; we can also help form a meaningful post-program alumni group for sustained impact.
Organized Study Tours
NGO Boards considering the best way to achieve impact on a specific issue or in a given region can turn to CIEE for organized study tours to gain in-depth knowledge from academics and experts. Relying on our university study centers located in more than 40 countries around the world, you can be sure that the information is accurate, timely, and targeted to your specific interests.
