Emergency Resources & Support for Ukraine

At Cultural Vistas, the health and well-being of our exchange program participants is of paramount importance to us. We work with civil society organizations and public diplomacy throughout the region and pledge our continued support for those affected by the war against Ukraine.

This continues to be a fast-evolving situation. As such, we are assessing the impact on our programs, our participants, our alumni and partners throughout the region. As the situation evolves, this page will be updated to provide the latest information, support, and guidance to our global exchange community.

Muskie alumna Stela Jemna, Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Moldova, has verified via her colleagues that you can donate directly to the Ministry of Finance to support Ukrainians in Moldova.
