Our Mission Statement: Connecting Montana and the World through global education and exchanges.

Montana Center for International Visitors, is an affiliate of the National Council for International Visitors (NCIV) based in Washington, D.C. We are one of 95 U.S., non-profit centers dedicated to promoting global understanding through citizen diplomacy. One of the ways we try to foster global understanding is by facilitating the International Visitor Leadership Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. In Montana, we host approximately 100 international leaders through this program each year. 

MCIV staff arrange meetings between these international visitors and their professional counterparts to discuss common interests and to share ideas. These appointments often lead to continued contact overseas with mutual benefits. When appropriate, the MCIV guests visit schools in the community to share their culture with our students. We also invite MCIV members to meet socially with these distinguished guests at our receptions held throughout the year. Often, visitors attend dinners in MCIV members' homes adding a welcomed touch of Montana hospitality to their experience.

MCIV, in collaboration with Friends of the Bozeman Public Library, also hosts  "Great Decisions", a monthly foreign policy discussion group. This series is free and open to the public. See our "MCIV News" page for the 2008 schedule.
