The Cordell Hull Foundation for International
Education is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to continuing the work of Cordell Hull,

peace, the Cordell Hull Foundation (CHF) has offered programs to improve
relations between the United States and other countries, primarily through
educational and cultural exchange, since 1951.

CHF J-1 VISA Teacher Exchange
The J-1 visa Teacher Exchange Program was established by the Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended. Students benefit through learning about the customs and mores of other nationalities, as well as literature and spoken language skills. Primary languages represented are French, Spanish, Greek, German, and Mandarin.The J-1 Exchange Visitor Program allows elementary and secondary-school teachers to teach under CHF J-1 visa sponsorship in the U.S. from 1-3 years, renewable annually. CHF works directly with schools
rather than through attorneys or other third-party intermediaries. CHF is not an employment agency and does not look for positions in which to place individual foreign teachers nor allow foreign teachers to pay for cost of sponsorship in our Exchange Visitor Teacher program. The Cordell Hull Foundation does not charge a fee for teacher referrals from our database.

Morrison Summer Study Program
The Foundation's
intensive
Summer Studies Program in Antigua, Guatemala, aids businesspeople and teachers
to rapidly become
fluent in Spanish while enjoying an idyllic setting in this
quaint village in Central America. CHF has documented success for learners who stay immersed in Spanish for a sustained period
without reverting to English or the learner's native language.
Currently, grant funding is being sought in partnership with an
innovative International school in Louisiana. Additional
