Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations is a non-profit organization which sponsors international
exchange students, ages 15-18, and places them in volunteer host families and high schools throughout the
U.S. for a semester, academic or calendar year.  Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations has
been designated by the
U.S. Department of State, and on the basis of materials submitted and reviewed,
the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) has granted full listing to
Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations in the 201
1-2012 Advisory List.  

Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations was founded in Tempe, Arizona.  The purpose of our
program is to promote international understanding, cultural awareness and academic excellence.  As a
relatively small organization, we pride ourselves in the ability to carefully screen and select our students, as
well as meet each and every one of them in person at our host country orientation.  During this orientation,
we thoroughly prepare the students and provide them with the information they will need to have a
successful semester or year in the United States.  While participating in the program, students will
experience political influences and cultural differences within the host community and at school through
specific studies such as U.S. Government and U.S. History.  In return, the host families and their community
will learn about the student's home country and traditions, thereby promoting international understanding
and friendship.
