Exchange Day is a worldwide celebration of the power of international exchange. Exchange Day is also an opportunity to raise awareness of these programs and to spread the word about the many ways in which people and communities benefit from people-to-people diplomacy. Exchange Day, as J Day, was piloted in the summer of 2014 by three Alliance members: Cenet, Greenheart International, and Spirit Cultural Exchange.

This year, Exchange Day is August 1, 2022. We are excited that exchange program sponsors and supporters may be hosting traditional in person Exchange Day events this year, while some will choose to celebrate online. Through these events, we are looking forward to sharing the positive impact of international exchange with local communities around the U.S. and abroad.

Please stay tuned for more information on Exchange Day 2022.
