The BridgeUSA Alumni Impact report is the result of an initiative to collect feedback and stories from former participants of U.S. Department of State BridgeUSA programmes (formerly known as the J-1 Exchange Vistor Program). The survey, conducted in early 2025, focussed on how alumni contributed to the United States during their exchange – professionally, culturally, and socially – and how the experience has shaped their journey since.
