CIPUSA IS AN INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE ORGANIZATION BASED IN CLEVELAND, OHIO WITH A NETWORK OF AFFILIATE OFFICES NATIONWIDE AND AN ALUMNI NETWORK OF 31 COUNTRIES. OUR PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR THE PAST 61 YEARS.

BUILDING BRIDGES AMONG CULTURES HAS BEEN THE HEART OF CIPUSA PROGRAMMING FROM OUR INCEPTION. WE STRIVE TO FOSTER A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER, OUR PROFESSIONS, AND OUR COMMUNITIES. TO HELP PROMOTE OUR MISSION, CIPUSA HAS DEVELOPED THE BUILDING BRIDGES PROGRAM, A SIX-WEEK PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM UNDER THE CIVIL SOCIETY THEME. THIS SPECIFIC PROGRAM FOCUSES ON PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT. IN ADDITION TO FOSTERING INTROSPECTION AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT, THE PROGRAM AIMS TO GIVE PARTICIPANTS THE TOOLS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR HOST COMMUNITY IN THE U.S. AND THEIR OWN HOMETOWNS AND TO BUILD A BRIDGE TO CONNECT THE TWO COMMUNITIES INTERNATIONALLY.

CIPUSA CONDUCTS A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS BESIDES THE BUILDING BRIDGES PROGRAM THAT BRING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. OUR PROGRAMS ARE CREATED ON OUR OWN THROUGH OUR OWN NETWORKS, OR IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ORGANIZATIONS ABROAD, OR THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN GRANT FUNDED PROGRAMS. IN 2018 CIPUSA WAS SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING GRANTS FROM SUCH ORGANIZATIONS AS THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION AND OPEN WORLD LEADERSHIP CENTER. CIPUSA RELIES UPON VOLUNTEERS TO HOST OUR PARTICIPANTS IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND ASSIST IN THEIR PROGRAMMING NEEDS. CIPUSA ALSO PROVIDES PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS TO PARTICIPANTS WHO SHOW FINANCIAL NEED. IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING PARTICIPANTS FROM ABROAD CIPUSA ALSO STRIVES TO SEND U.S. PARTICIPANTS FOR SHORT TERM TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES MAINLY AFFILIATED WITH OUR ALUMNI ORGANIZATION THE COUNCIL OF INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP LOCATED IN 31 COUNTRIES.
