What they do & why we invested

Through educational volunteer programs, Via International engages with visiting and local individuals and furthers its mission of enhancing cross-border relationships. Via International currently provides programming for approximately 600 students from universities and high schools annually but anticipates that it can expand its reach by expanding its virtual programming.
