The BridgeUSA Alumni Impact Survey is a strategic effort to capture and communicate the long-term value of international exchange to the US.
WYSE Travel Confederation invites organisations across the youth and student travel industry to encourage their BridgeUSA alumni to share how they contributed to US communities, workplaces, and cultural life during their exchange experience. We are also interested to know how that experience has shaped their personal and professional journeys since.
This is an opportunity to illustrate, with real alumni stories, the value that international exchange programmes deliver to the United States. From enriching host communities to supporting local economies and building lifelong global connections, alumni are living proof of the positive impact of cultural exchange.
By sharing the survey with your former participants, your organisation will help influence public perception, inform policy discussions, and strengthen the case for continued support of international exchange. What’s more, to recognise the efforts of contributing businesses, the organisation whose unique survey link brings in the most completed responses will receive a complimentary registration to WYSTC 2025. This is a unique opportunity to not only contribute to an advocacy initiative but also attend the annual gathering of the global youth and student travel community.
BridgeUSA alumni are some of the strongest ambassadors for the power of exchange. Their voices help bring to life the true, lasting benefits of cultural mobility. Taking part in the BridgeUSA Alumni Impact Survey initiative gives your organisation the opportunity to play a key role in shaping how exchange is understood and valued by policymakers, partners, and the public.
Share the survey with your alumni and help to demonstrate the real-world impact of exchange.
