.  The Cordell Hull Foundation for International Education is a not-for-profit
organization dedicated to continuing the work of Cordell Hull, awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1945 as "Father of the United Nations."  Secretary Hull served for twelve years
under Franklin Roosevelt, the longest-serving Secretary of State in U.S. history.  
Embracing his goals of international peace, the Cordell Hull Foundation (CHF) has

primarily through educational and cultural exchange, since 1951.
Cordell Hull Foundation offices are located in midtown
Manhattan on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street.
Overlooking the original New York City Library building,

CHF J-1 VISA Teacher Exchange
The J-1 visa Teacher Exchange Program was established by the Educational and
Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended. Students benefit through learning about
the customs and mores of other nationalities, as well as literature and spoken
language skills.  Primary languages represented are French, Spanish, Greek, German,
and Mandarin.

The J-1 Exchange Visitor Program allows elementary and secondary-school teachers
to teach under CHF J-1 visa sponsorship in the U.S. from 1-3 years, renewable
annually. CHF works directly with schools rather than through attorneys or other
third-party intermediaries.  CHF is not an employment agency and does not look for
positions in which to place individual foreign teachers nor allow foreign teachers to
pay for cost of sponsorship in our Exchange Visitor Teacher program.  The Cordell
Hull Foundation does not charge a fee for teacher recruitment unless under specific
contract.
