About Us

At Cultural Vistas, we believe that our people should reflect the diversity of the global communities we serve. We promote perspective-taking, empathy, agility, and comfort with ambiguity/complexity. ​ 

We embrace differences and diversity in all aspects of life, visible and invisible, and actively prioritize inclusion, aiming to foster an authentic sense of belonging and a positive, supportive environment. ​ 

We work toward the disruption of systems, structures, policies, and practices which privilege some individuals while discriminating against others. We believe that perspectives that have been historically excluded should be elevated and intentionally integrated into our organization and its programs. 

Our equity work is continual and requires us to actively identify and dismantle both intentional and unintentional barriers to access and inclusion.  

At Cultural Vistas, we recognize and embrace our interdependence on one another as human beings and believe the most effective and innovative solutions to challenges emerge when we build strong communities. ​ 

We strive to reach across borders of all kinds – from departmental to geographic – to work together, share knowledge, and reach common goals.

At Cultural Vistas, we value and provide the opportunity and capacity to learn from all situations and from all people through reflection and curiosity, both shared and individual, professional and personal.

At Cultural Vistas, we understand that the world is an ever-changing place. We operate with a common willingness to respond quickly to change in the face of unforeseen challenges. We focus on building sustainable, evolving programs that can withstand time.

At Cultural Vistas, we are committed to honesty, respect, and clarity of our mission and strategic vision. ​ 

We strive to communicate transparently and authentically across the organization and with our stakeholders. We recognize that genuine and effective communication is an ongoing and multidirectional process.  

At Cultural Vistas, we are passionate about designing transformational experiences, delivering quality service, and building meaningful relationships for our participants, partners, supporters, and colleagues.
