International Student Exchange (abbreviated as ISE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.[1] founded in 1982 and designated by the U.S. Department of State[2] to run a J-1 Secondary School Exchange Program. ISE is fully listed with the CSIET (Council on Standards for International Educational Travel)[3] and is a member of the Alliance for International Educational and Cultural Exchange[4].
The J-1 Secondary School Student exchange program[5] is a public diplomacy program intended to foster mutual understanding and trust between foreign students and American host families.[6] Therefore, families who opt to host a J-1 student with ISE must be volunteers [6] and do so out of a desire to experience a new culture, share their way of life, and positively impact international diplomacy.[7]
The ISE program originated with the Fulbright–Hays Act of 1961, which was passed to enable the Government of the United States to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries through educational and cultural exchange. Throughout their stay, ISE exchange students immerse themselves in the local community[8] to gain a deeper understanding of the local culture while sharing elements of their own.[9]
Each J-1 foreign exchange student is assigned a Local Coordinator to monitor their program and assist with any issues during their stay in the United States.[10] ISE refers to its Local Coordinators as Area Representatives.[11]
ISE is also a philanthropic partner with Children Incorporated, a nonprofit child sponsorship and assistance program that provides vital support to children in need across the United States through the ISE Gives Back initiative.[10]
