Exchange Day, previously known as“J-Day”, is a nationwide event spearheaded by the Alliance for International Exchange. It is a celebration of the power of international exchanges and an opportunity to raise awareness about the variety of Exchange Visitor Programs! This is the sixth year that Exchange Day will happen across the country. Under the motto “Eat, Play, Give,” cities across the United States hold similar events. These events provide Exchange Visitor participants, and their hosts, an opportunity to enjoy American cuisine, share cultural diversity and customs and give back to their local communities – find one near you! 
Each August, Greenheart Exchange hosts a volunteer event to celebrate the Exchange Visitor Programs we sponsor, as a part of the nation-wide celebration! Exchange participants, Greenheart staff, and representatives of host organizations will come together with our larger community to celebrate all of the wonderful things exchanges bring to our communities.
