The Center had an opportunity to play "home hospitality" host on December 12, 2017, as it welcomed International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) volunteers for an appreciation reception.

Program volunteers included home hospitality hosts, professional resources, visitor hosts, and others playing an important role in welcoming international guests to Indianapolis. The generosity of our volunteers is integral to The Center’s efforts to ‘inform, connect and convene global objectives in Indiana’ and to advancing citizen diplomacy.

In 2017, The International Center hosted 16 Delegations including 114 Visitors from 27 countries hosted by 125 professional resources. We are grateful for our volunteers throughout the community who share their time, expertise and hospitality.
