About RIC
The
Rochester International Council (RIC), founded in 1948, is a nonprofit,
501(c)(3) organization with over 450 members. RIC provides educational
and social programs and services that promote understanding among people
and showcase the richness and diversity of other cultures.
Our core
program, Friendship Volunteers, serves over
200 new international college students each year by providing them with
American hosts (with whom they do not live) who introduce them to the Rochester
community and American culture. This relationship continues throughout the
student's residency in Rochester. RIC also runs International
Wives programs twice a month at both the University of Rochester and
Rochester Institute of Technology. In addition, RIC sponsors over 20 programs
and activities each year that provide opportunities for the 2,500 international
students in the Rochester area to participate in American life.
The Council offers programs and services to community residents and businesses through its International Visitor program, Global Perspectives (K - 12) program, and International Insights series.
