Discover the International Impact in Local Communities around the U.S. on Route J-1
Posted on Monday, July 7th, 2014 at 12:30 pm.
Summer is a time for road trips and discovering new people and places along the way.
I’ve decided it’s time for me to hit the road to meet the people who participate in the Department’s Exchange Visitor Program and to share their experiences, so I want you to come along too! Please join me and my team for Route J-1, a special road trip we’re taking to highlight the faces, places and connections behind the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program. We’ll be posting regular updates, pictures and stories right here on the Route J-1 blog. You can also follow our adventures by checking out the J-1 Visa website, Exchange Programs – U.S. Department of State Facebook Page and Twitter account.
