Exchange Alumni: Resources & Opportunities

Alumni - group of people gathered together

The U.S. Embassy in Latvia sponsors or facilitates a variety of international exchange programs each year in conjunction with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). These people-to-people exchanges are designed to enhance mutual understanding between the United States and Latvia. The Department of State is committed to supporting alumni of these programs by providing resources that will help them to build upon their exchange experience.

Our goal is to stay in contact with you, the U.S. Alumni Community in Latvia, including U.S. Government (USG) and non-USG sponsored exchange program alumni.
