Since 1985, Greenheart International has connected people and planet through the facilitation of cultural exchange programs, support of eco-fair trade, personal development opportunities, volunteer service initiatives, and environmental advocacy projects. Our mission of connecting people and planet to create global leaders drives all that we do in each of our branches: Greenheart Exchange (international programs to study, work, intern/train, or teach in the USA on J1 Visas), Greenheart Travel (programs to study, work, teach outside of the USA), and Greenheart Shop (a Fair Trade shop / wholesale with international eco-friendly products). 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 care, we are guided by our vision of a united and flourishing global family.
