Dear friends,

In looking back over the 2021-2022 year, the first word that comes to mind is transformation.

It’s been difficult to navigate our ever-changing circumstances throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. And unfortunately, the pandemic is not the only global crisis we are facing right now.

In a world that feels more divided than ever, we need to work together to create and empower generations of global citizens who will build a more just and equitable world. And we each need to make a commitment to act and create lasting, positive change.

At One To World, we do that by creating opportunities every day for cross-cultural dialogue. We facilitate face-to-face experiences where people of different backgrounds and cultures can share ideas, challenge assumptions, and ask questions. Each moment in our programs—from a holiday dinner with international students and a local resident, to a Fulbright scholar sharing their customs with K-12 students, to a corporate leader sharing their expertise in international business—creates a change in people’s hearts and minds. That is what makes One To World so special.

That work would not be possible without our incredible support system of friends, members, hosts, alumni, and donors. We want to thank you so much for your commitment and time over the last year. We hope as you read through the rest of this report, you know how vital you are to each and every success.

Just as we share so many challenges, we also share a world of possibility, promise, and opportunity. We look forward to a year of transformation ahead with you.

Sincerely,
