Higher Education & Non-Profits
Empowering Global Impact Through Cultural Intelligence
Whether you're supporting international students, managing global programs, or working in a global environment and advancing a mission that crosses borders, cultural competence isn't optional. It's essential.
At The Culturosity Co., we partner with colleges, universities, and mission-driven organizations to build the intercultural skills that make global engagement meaningful, effective, and sustainable.
How We Support Higher Education:
For International Student & Scholar Services
Help your team provide culturally informed support that goes beyond logistical assistance. We train advisors, program coordinators, and student life staff to recognize cultural adjustment patterns, communicate across differences, and create truly inclusive environments where international students thrive.
For Study Abroad & Global Engagement Offices
Prepare students for transformative experiences abroad and help them integrate those experiences upon their return. Our pre-departure orientations include interactive workshops and to develop the self-awareness and adaptability students need to navigate unfamiliar cultural contexts.
For Departmental & Unit Team Building
Strengthen collaboration within your department or unit through shared intercultural learning experiences. We create customized workshops that align with your mission while fostering team cohesion and building a common language around cultural differences—valuable whether your team works directly with international populations or simply wants to create a more inclusive, culturally aware workplace.
For Faculty & Academic Departments
Support faculty in creating culturally responsive classrooms where diverse learning styles are recognized and valued. From managing multicultural group projects to understanding international academic norms, we help educators bridge cultural gaps that impact student success.
How We Support Non-Profits:
For International Development & Global Programs
Strengthen your team's ability to work effectively across cultures — whether collaborating with international partners, implementing programs in diverse communities, or managing global initiatives. We build the cultural competency that turns good intentions into meaningful impact.
For Advocacy & Mission-Driven Work
When your mission involves working across cultural boundaries—whether with refugee communities, international coalitions, or multicultural stakeholders—cultural intelligence strengthens your effectiveness and deepens your impact.
For Organizational Development
Build cultural competency into your own organizational DNA. From board development to staff training to strategic planning, we help nonprofits create frameworks for intercultural effectiveness that support long-term mission success.
For Community-Based Organizations
Serve diverse populations more effectively by understanding how culture shapes everything from communication preferences to trust-building. We help staff develop the awareness and skills to create truly inclusive, culturally responsive programs.
