Our 2023 Year in Review captures the year's highlights as we advanced our vision of a world where every young person has the opportunity to participate in virtual exchange.
Dear Friends,
As 2023 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the major strides we took to advance our mission of connecting young people through virtual exchange. It was a momentous year for the Stevens Initiative, none of which would have been possible without your generous support. A few highlights include:
- We announced our evolution to a global movement connecting young people in regions around the world through virtual exchange.
- We welcomed new grantees, Alumni Fellows, and Virtual Exchange Academy graduates.
- We participated in global conferences and convenings to amplify our mission to new audiences, and much, much more.
The impact of our work is being felt by young people across cultures and continents. I’m proud to share the 2023 Year in Review, to provide a look at just how much we have accomplished together.
Thank you for being an invaluable partner on our journey and for your enduring commitment to advancing the field of virtual exchange. In 2024, we’re excited to continue working together to create even more opportunities that foster global connections and cross-cultural collaboration and learning.
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year,
Christine Shiau
Executive Director, The Stevens Initiative
