“We were moved that a young, foreign girl could embrace us as her American family and find a permanent place in our hearts. Nina paid us the ultimate compliment by showing us the America we thought we knew through fresh eyes.”

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 cultural understanding, academic development, environmental consciousness and world peace. Based in Chicago, Illinois, CCI organizes high school exchange, short-term group homestay, intern and trainee, work & travel in the U.S. and study, teach, volunteer, and language programs in over 30 countries around the world. In 2004, CCI adopted Greenheart as its environmental and social initiative. Greenheart connects people and planet through environmentalism, fair trade, social transformation and cross cultural understanding. CCI and Greenheart have been recognized by the Mayor of Chicago and the City Council for the promotion of international education, environmental awareness and citizen diplomacy.
