International Visitor Leadership Program
Leaders and prominent citizens from virtually every nation participate in the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), sponsored by the US Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). TGA is one of 95 Councils for International Visitors across the country. Future leaders and prominent citizens from around the world participate in this program and visit U.S. cities to meet with various business professionals and participate in cultural activities and home hospitality. Learn more.
Community Connections
As part of the United States' effort to assist the former USSR with its transition to a free market economy, the United States Department of State launched the Business for Russia (BFR) project in late 1993. The Community Connections Program is an outgrowth of BFR and includes other countries which were part of the former USSR. Through the Community Connections project, professionals from the former Soviet Union learn about Western business and professional practices and apply this new information to build stronger economies.

Youth Ambassador Programs
Since 2006, Tulsa has hosted Brazilian students participating in the Youth Ambassador Program sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Brazil in cooperation with Partners of the Americas, Brazil’s Ministry of Education, U.S.-Brazil binational centers and other entities.
