IVLP Classroom | Interest Form

The U.S. Department of State’s Office of International Visitors (OIV) launched the IVLP Classroom Initiative during the pandemic to sustain global exchange when international travel was at a standstill. As an extension of the State Department’s premier professional exchange program—the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP)—the initiative brings IVLP alumni into classrooms virtually to share cultural insights, lived experiences, and perspectives on global issues.

Global Classroom piloted its first visits in 2022, and they quickly proved impactful. Since then, we have hosted international visitors from Zambia, Malawi, Morocco, Croatia, Hungary, Switzerland, Malta, Ecuador, Suriname, Lesotho, New Zealand, Mexico, Guatemala, and more. These 45–60 minute virtual classroom visits enrich curriculum, spark curiosity, and give students accessible opportunities to engage with real-world perspectives that will serve them well into adulthood.
