OUR MISSION
Connecting People Since 1986
STS Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing memorable cultural exchanges between American families and young people from other parts of the world. Our mission is to foster greater mutual understanding and to empower young people to grow through cultural exchange.
We believe in bringing people together with mutual respect, promoting personal growth and a positive global perspective which can break down cultural barriers, and increase respect and understanding of each other’s way of life. We are committed to facilitating a life-changing program for all participants, with the sole purpose of providing students with a safe and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow. We provide an opportunity for cultural exchange students to become citizen diplomats while learning about other cultures, and schools with the opportunity to enrich their life.
