Eat. Play. Give.
What do those three words have in common? J Day.
J-Day is a nationwide celebration that brings J-1 exchange visitors together with their American hosts and local communities to celebrate and share cultural diversity, give back to their local communities, and have some fun too.
We invite you to celebrate the power of International Exchanges with us!
Get involved. It’s easy. Here are some suggestions:
- Participate in a J Day event in your area. Most events are open to everyone. See a full list of events at http://www.alliance-exchange.org.
- Read about J-1 experiences and adventures on the Route blog. Don’t forget to check back later this week to see how J-1s across the country celebrated J Day.
- And most importantly, share your photos and J Day experiences online using #CelebrateJDay.
