What's new with Global Ties Iowa?

The volunteers were truly superb and a highlight of the trip as they were kind, genuine, and very informative of the area.

My internship at Global Ties Iowa was the most valuable experience I had during my time at the University of Iowa.

Interning with Global Ties Iowa has given me opportunities unavailable anywhere else on campus.

Intercultural exchanges such as these help break barriers, let people get to know each other, and build bridges of understanding among people.
