Our mission at AEP is to connect our divided country through a free domestic youth exchange program.
AEP trips are free because we believe this experience ought to be a public good. Nothing should get in the way of a young person who wants to learn more about their country and their fellow citizens.
Hundreds of students have received the gift of an AEP trip thanks to scores of donors who care deeply about bringing our divided country together and offering our students an incredible experience.
The American Exchange Project is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

We raised funds for AEP as part of a course in the UCA Honors College, which is specifically focused on issues of community in all its forms. Your organization, and your staff, inspired us! We were so happy to share in and spread its message.

I tried but failed to facilitate some connections, so I am left with the old codgers' next best shot--a donation. (I talked to Paul Solman, my best friend in high school, about Florida and Alaska. You got there, but not through me.)

I saw a segment on CNS Sunday Morning about this program and immediately wanted to support this cause. I am a university professor and am constantly hoping for a better future for my students and fearing for the survival of democracy. These young people are the future and deserve to thrive in a less divided, more tolerant environment. Thank you for what you are providing for these young people!

I was in the Navy years ago and met a variety of Americans. I think the AEP is a great idea.

I have truly believed in exposure to others as a way of life since I was young. Thank you for this fantastic program and I truly love your mission. My daily mantra has been from the following poem by an unknown author in the book "Something To Live By" collected and annotated by Dorothea S. Kopplin, page 76. If I knew you and you knew me, If both of us could clearly see And with an inner sight divine The meaning of your heart and mine I'm sure that we should differ less And clasp our hands in friendliness. If I knew you and you knew me, As each one knows his own self, we Could look each other in the face And see therein a truer grace. Life has so many hidden woes, So many thorns for every rose; The "why" of things our hearts would see If I knew you and you knew me

I saw the 60 Minutes segment. I was so impressed by David McCullough. I am in full agreement with his view of our current social climate and his vision for a better future that I want to contribute.

What a wonderful organization. It can help strengthen the torn fabric of our riven country. Born, raised and schooled in New England, as a junior in college I chose to become an exchange student at University of New Mexico, rather than in Europe at Oxford or Bologna, knowing I'd visit Europe later, but asking myself when would I have the opportunity to live in and explore the southwest? It was life-changing. Thank you and good luck.

A mission critical to increasing communication and understanding in the next generation of Americans. Bravo.
