What we do

We connect leaders to leaders, business to business, students to families, and, most importantly, humans to humans.

As a member of Global Ties U.S. and the U.S. State Department’s designated regional service provider for the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) in Western PA and Northern WV, we customize itineraries and on-the-ground logistics for international delegations.
