## What is a J-1 Exchange Visitor?

E2C is designated by the U.S. Department of State as an **J-1 Teacher Program Sponsor**. A **J-1 Exchange Visitor** is a non-immigrant status holder participating in a U.S. government-approved cultural and educational exchange program. In the **Teacher category**, J-1 status allows qualified international educators to teach full-time at accredited primary or secondary schools in the United States for a temporary period.

J-1 Teachers contribute to cross-cultural exchange by bringing their home country’s educational perspectives into U.S. classrooms while also gaining valuable professional experience.
