The Program Officer I provides administrative support to program officers working on the Sports Visitor and Sports Envoy Programs (SVSEP).
The Global Connections Department designs and implements academic, professional, cultural, and youth exchange programs for students and emerging leaders around the world through programs such as Sports Diplomacy programs.
Sports diplomacy programs are an effective way to engage priority audiences, including at-risk youth, women, minorities, people with disabilities, and non-English speakers. The Sports Visitor and Sports Envoy Programs (SVSEP) use sports to support U.S. foreign policy goals and promote key U.S. values on and off the field about the importance of education, community engagement, and respect for diversity. The Sports Visitor Program is a sports-based international exchange that represents American excellence, leadership, and key lessons learned in sports broadly – from playgrounds to professional leagues. Sports Envoys are U.S. citizen current or retired professional and amateur athletes and coaches who travel overseas to engage audiences that do not normally have access to American sporting icons, values, and best practices. Sports Envoys lead youth clinics and team building activities, as well as share lessons learned on and off the playing field about the importance of education, community engagement, and respect for diversity.
