VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Dinner Hosts for Upcoming IVLP Groups!
First time volunteer? Sign up here!
Volunteered in the past? Reach out to Emily Rose, our International Programs Lead, at erose@cincyworldaffairs.org.
With a higher volume of delegates coming to Cincinnati, there’s more opportunities for them to meet Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky locals! Make dinner for or go to your favorite restaurants with 2-3 delegates from around the world. Invite family or friends to welcome the international visitors. From a nice homemade meal, potluck, or even catering, food is one of the ultimate forms of cultural exchange!
