International House is proud to serve as a center for diversity, advocating for people of diverse national backgrounds and facilitating professional and cultural exchange programs. We are glad that our quality programming is being noticed and recognized by the wider Charlotte community. This summer, our Youth English Tutoring Program (YETP) and Mexican Youth Ambassadors were both featured on News 14 Carolinas. Click on the links below and see for yourself! (You will need a Time Warner Cable ID, but it takes only a minute to get one.) Also, check out our short slide show of happy children at our YETP schools as they celebrate the conclusion of a great six-week session. It is guaranteed to warm your heart!
