International Center

Our Mission:  The International Center is a catalyst to inform, convene and connect public, private and civic global objectives in Indiana.

Our Vision:  Indiana embraces a global economy, values all cultures, and is a vibrant place to live and work.

The International Center was originally formed to provide interpreters and translators for the NATO Conference of Mayors held in Indianapolis in 1973. Interested citizens recognized the need to extend The Center’s role on an ongoing basis, supporting international visitors, instilling appreciation of the state’s multicultural populations and enhancing awareness of international issues.  In the four decades since its inception, The Center has witnessed and contributed to the state’s unprecedented international growth.
