ABCeX (American Brazilian Cultural Exchange) is a non-profit organization committed to promoting cultural exchange between the United States and Brazil. Our founders and board members come from a wide range of experiences and careers. We all share a love for Brazilian culture and a strong belief in the power of cultural exchange to inspire, enlighten, and empower. Most of us have had cultural exchange experiences abroad that were somehow transformative. In March 2009, we founded ABCeX in response to the recognition that such experiences are invaluable, and that, due to lack of infrastructure, they remain inaccessible to many interested parties in the U.S. and in Brazil.
