Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of WorldOregon is to engage Oregonians with the world and broaden public awareness and understanding of international affairs.

  • International Visitors Programs-The Organization coordinates professional visits and training programs to Oregon for approximately 250-500 current and emerging leaders from around the world each year. These visitors are top business, professional, cultural, and youth leaders, and promising emerging leaders. They are connected with their professional counterparts in Oregon for meetings, or come for week to month-long professional trainings. The visitors come through high-profile programs such as the U.S. Department of States International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), as well as other smaller programs. While IVLP participants stay in hotels, the remaining groups often stay with local volunteer host families. The International Visitors Program enables cross-cultural conversations and facilitates professional knowledge exchange between Oregonians and the world.

    Expenses $407,366 · Revenue $318,994

  • Global Classroom-The Global Classroom includes Culture Boxes and Young Leaders in Action, and some years teacher professional development training and working with international youth exchange programs led by the International Visitor Program. The Global Classroom enables K-12 educators to teach about the world by connecting them with materials, people, and creative learning resources, such as library of over 100 Culture Boxes, supplementary online materials, lesson plans, and classroom curriculum. An Education Advisory Council helps provide teacher input to this work. The Young Leaders in Action program includes approximately 15 students annually from Portland metro area high schools who engage in leadership training, execute action plans and serve as ambassadors to their schools. The Organization also some years hosts approximately 25-50 high school leaders annually from all over the world through U.S. Department of State youth leadership programs. These international youth engage with area youth leaders and stay with local volunteer host families in ofter their first exposure to international travel and U.S. culture.

    Expenses $133,579 · Revenue $37,670

  • Global Conversations-The Organizaton sponsors public programs featuring experts on international issues who engage in spirited Q&A with the audience. The Organization conducts annually the Great Decisions series on the eight most critical foreign policy issues facing the U.S., high level thought leaders and authors speaking on the issues of the day, and virtual programs in coordination with the World Affairs Councils of America network.

    Expenses $105,171 · Revenue $31,325

  • Larger Public Programs-As of Global Conversations, the Organization hosts VIP speakers (journalists, authors, policymakers, thought leaders, etc.) is special venues for larger public audiences. A successor to the International Speaker Series, the Organization has pivoted to one-off talks instead of a series.
