US Servas has a number of relationships and partnerships with like-minded organizations. We believe that connecting with other organizations pursuing peace and greater international understanding is vital to strengthening worldwide cooperation. Just as hosts and travelers form the Servas network, so we at US Servas believe in the power of building bridges and working together. Below is a list of current collaborations.
Diversity Dinners foster cross-cultural communication and understanding through collaborative hospitality. Groups of 10 gather in members’ homes for dinner and conversation. They meet every four to six weeks, usually on Saturday nights, fall through spring. Members reside in Naperville, IL and surrounding area. Read More
INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION (IIE)
IIE broadens the outlook of future leaders through academic and professional exchange that strengthens their ability to think and act on a cooperative basis. They believe exchange among people of different cultures is a critical means for transferring knowledge and skills across borders and preparing a new generation of global citizens. US Servas is working with the IIE headquarters in Arcata to provide day-hosting opportunities for Fulbright students, giving them a chance to learn about American culture and daily life in New York.
If you are a host in New York and would like to day-host a Fulbright student, contact the National Office for more details.
GLOBAL EXCHANGE
Global Exchange is an international human rights organization dedicated to promoting environmental, political and social justice. Part of the program includes linking up with local people and community organizations. Last year, Servas helped Global Exchange by providing home hosts for some of their participants.
