Our Team of Many

Our team consists of people who have traveled the world and want to help young people see, explore, taste and share the various wonders this world has to offer.

 

Coaches, Mentors, Staff and Volunteers all make it happen.

The team at DIRA is comprised of many. Coaches, mentors, donors, volunteers, and supporters will make a difference to the young people of today, so the world can be a better place tomorrow. Learn how you can help by donating your time or other resources.

 

“In the 1970s I was traveling all over Europe with a boat, oars and a loaf of bread, l want to give the kids of today that kind of freedom!”

— Jim Dietz - Former USRowing Board President

 

How to help DIRA reach more young athletes?

Reach out to our Board and offer these three things:

  • RELATIONSHIP BUILDING -DIRA seeks to build relationships with organizations that recognize the importance of our mission.

  • VOLUNTEER - DIRA counts on local volunteers to help raise awareness of the program and help identify groups and individuals for the exchange.

  • SUPPORT - DIRA plans to create as many exchanges as possible for those who would not be able to visit a foreign country on their own. Financial support is critical from individuals and companies who understand how important creating global citizens is to everyone’s future.
