- Pittsburgh council for international visitors
Pittsburgh Council for International Visitors (PCIV) is a non-profit community-based organization based in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region that is part of a national network under the umbrella of the National Council for International Visitors (NCIV). Inaugurated in 1959, PCIV’S mission is to forge cultural, educational, and business relationships between Western Pennsylvania and the global community through citizen diplomacy. As the designated liaison for the U.S. State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program in Western Pennsylvania, PCIV designs and implements tailored itineraries for leaders in a variety of fields who are seeking a gateway to the local community and insights into American culture. Additionally, PCIV provides orientations to the city and offers services to international students, scholars, researchers, professionals from other sponsors and their families. For nearly five decades, PCIV has enabled more than 75,000 visiting internationals to connect with tens of thousands of people living in the Pittsburgh region.
