Mission Statement
The mission of the Congressional Office for International Leadership (COIL) is to inspire Congressional and citizen diplomacy with global civic and political leaders. COIL achieves this through the Open World program, which connects delegates with their peers in U.S. communities to exchange best practices and strengthen mutual understanding.
Open World Program
The Open World program is a ten-day professional exchange built on the foundational values of authentic communication and immersive cultural experiences. Starting in Washington, D.C., delegates explore the concepts of American federalism, culture, and leadership.
Delegates engage with Members of Congress and their staff to discuss common challenges and participate in unfiltered dialogue. Traveling to communities across the United States, delegates meet with their professional counterparts to share expertise and establish lasting partnerships. During the program, delegates stay with host familes, giving them an intimate view of American life.
