Did you know?

Last year, local professionals participated in 119 in-person meetings with international participants through our programs.

Each conversation helped showcase Northwest Florida while creating opportunities to exchange ideas and professional experience.

Thank you to everyone who says yes.

✨ Join Our Team! ✨

We are hiring for two positions and would love to hear from people who enjoy connecting with others, coordinating meaningful experiences, and contributing to work that makes an impact close to home.

Current openings:
• Program Coordinator (Full-Time)
• Program Associate (Part-Time)

In addition to meaningful and engaging work, we offer paid time off, sick leave, and some work hour flexibility because we believe supporting our team matters too.

No two days are exactly alike. One day may involve coordinating professional exchange appointments, another supporting youth leadership activities, planning events, or helping showcase Northwest Florida to exchange participants.

If you are looking for work that is collaborative, purposeful, and occasionally a lot of fun, we encourage you to learn more.
