About

Vision and Mission:

Greenheart envisions a world in which communities come together as agents of change to create a more peaceful and sustainable future for all.

Since 1985, Greenheart International has been a catalyst for global transformation through the facilitation of cultural exchange programs. Greenheart International connects people and planet to create global leaders through personal development, volunteer service, environmentalism, and of course, cultural exchange. Our mission drives all that we do in Greenheart Travel and Greenheart Exchange.

Greenheart International is endorsed by the City of Chicago for the promotion of international education, environmental awareness, and citizen diplomacy. With an ardent commitment to sustainable practices, a steadfast dedication to expanding worldviews, and an abiding passion for planetary change, we are guided by our vision of a united and flourishing global family.
