Mission

Colleagues International facilitates cultural exchanges which provide professional development and opportunities for international understanding. By enriching local community with global diversity, we foster and promote Citizen Diplomacy "one handshake at a time."

Kalamazoo is a medium size midwestern community. Our location in southwest Michigan allows our exchange visitors to experience “real America” with easy access to larger cities such as Chicago and Detroit. Kalamazoo is a highly diverse community – ethnically and culturally. Our schools, colleges and university offer significant multicultural programming opportunities.

Local business, media, healthcare, law enforcement, non profit, government and education professionals welcome our international visitors and the mutual exchange of ideas. One of a kind professional and cultural programming opportunities abound in Kalamazoo and West Michigan. >>
