“I am convinced that increased participation by dedicated Americans in international exchanges will help to achieve our common hope for a durable and just peace.”

President John Kennedy, 1961

President Kennedy created the International Visitor Leadership program six decades ago to break down barriers, shatter stereotypes and create a more peaceful world. His words and intention are prescient now more than ever. Help us to fulfill this mission by making a donation to Global New Orleans.

Our visitors are educators, artists, government officials, community leaders, economists, ambassadors, poets, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, business leaders and more. They enrich our community by sharing their expertise, meeting with local counterparts, public speaking, performances and just having a meal. These experiences increase our knowledge of the world, generate economic impact for the region and strengthen our connections globally. Your gift helps us to build a stronger world!
