Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations
Mission
Making new friends is one of many significant experiences that international exchange students are exposed to during the exchange program. They also experience political influences and cultural diversities within the host community. In return, the host family, local high school and community learn about the student's home country, history and traditions, which helps to promote international understanding. Through their unselfish and caring commitment, the host family and their community are rewarded with the knowledge that they are helping to educate future world leaders.
