AMITY

Amity Institute is a U.S. Department of State designated BridgeUSA J-1 program sponsor and nonprofit organization with close to 60 years of experience facilitating cultural exchange. In 1962, Dr. Ernest and Emily Stowell of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, founded Amity Institute to meet the needs of American foreign language teachers and students for direct personalized contact with world languages and cultures... They also sought to involve young people from abroad in American education, family and community life. Several decades later, Amity Institute has broadened to provide exchange programs that work toward achieving the mission of building international friendship and cultural understanding through teaching exchange.
