International House's Ideals
Chicago's International House is part of a larger vision conceived by YMCA official Harry Edmonds that included Houses in four other cities, New York, Berkeley, Paris and Tokyo. Today the vision of International House is a vital reality. The Chicago House has been home to over 27,000 persons from virtually every country. Living together in an atmosphere that provides for free interchange of ideas and knowledge, its residents are stimulated by diversity while being secure in their own unique backgrounds.
As we begin a new century, International House of Chicago plays a vital role in preparing tomorrow’s leaders for a global future.
