Utah Global Diplomacy
Mission Statement
The mission of Utah Global Diplomacy is to promote respect and understanding between
the people of Utah and people from around the world. 
What We Do
As a nonprofit organization, Utah Global Diplomacy promotes respect and mutual understanding between the people of Utah and people from around the world. Guided by the principle of Citizen Diplomacy for nearly six decades, we have built lasting international relationships through meaningful people-to-people connections, fostering dialogue, cultural exchange, and global engagement that extends far beyond a single visit or conversation.
Services Offered to the International Community
We are excited to partner with the Office of International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) to provide dinner hosting and cultural exchange opportunities for their international students, visiting faculty, and professional fellows.
Local Connection
Through this program, local volunteer families welcome small groups into their homes for dinner and conversation, creating a warm and welcoming environment where international guests can experience life beyond campus while learning about Utah's culture and hospitality firsthand.
