CCI: The Greenheart of Cultural Exchange

Established in 1985, the Center for Cultural Interchange (CCI) is a non-profit international education exchange organization dedicated to the promotion of academic development, cultural understanding, environmental consciousness and world peace. Based in Chicago, Illinois, CCI organizes high school exchange, short-term group homestay, internship and trainee, volunteer, work & travel, and language study programs in the United States and in over 30 countries around the world. Through CCI’s Greenheart environmental and social welfare projects, we offer opportunities to our American and international participants to contribute to conservation efforts through service, education and conscious living. CCI and Greenheart has been recognized by the Mayor of Chicago and the City Council for the promotion of international education, environmental awareness and citizen diplomacy.
