"I believe that our greatest strength in dealing with the world is the openness of our society and the welcoming nature of our people.  A good stay in our country is the best public diplomacy tool we have."

Colin Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

"The really crucial link in the international communication chain is the last three feet, which is bridged by personal contact, one person talking to another."

Edward R. Murrow, Broadcast Journalist and Director, USIA (1961-1963)

The North Texas Council for International Visitors (NTCIV) is a non-profit organization made up of local volunteers working with the U.S. State Department to host foreign visitors. The visitors come to the North Texas area under the auspices of the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP).  

The Council has been promoting public diplomacy for more than 50 years.  The visitors are emerging leaders in their fields who have been selected by embassy officials overseas. Through professional and cultural programs developed by our volunteers, the visitors explore their specific areas of interest, from governance to business to social issues.  We give them the opportunity to form their own impressions of The United States, the American people and our culture through relevant experiences and direct interaction, as well as a chance for both the hosts and the visitors to build genuine, lasting relationships.


Our Mission:

The mission of the North Texas Council for International Visitors (NTCIV) is to provide quality exchange programs for international visitors in the communities of North Texas. Comprised of hundreds of volunteers, the NTCIV coordinates professional appointments, home visits, cultural experiences, symposia, transportation, and language services for international visitors. NTCIV facilitates a personal connection between individuals in our communities to guests from around the world. 

 

Member of the National Council of International Visitors (NCIV).  Our national nonprofit network of 91 offices and 80,000 volunteers was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001.
