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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
