PAX.ORG - Site Information

PAX-Program of Academic Exchange At Home in the World PAX - Program of Academic Exchange is a non-profit educational organization that promotes and arranges international student exchange to foster the positive development of the world's young people and to support international peace, friendship and cross-cultural understanding. While PAX has a global vision, the organization works one student at a time. Committed to a quality program that is small and personal, PAX works exclusively with high school exchange. All PAX programs feature a homestay experience with a family abroad. PAX has its headquarters in New York. The foundation works with community coordinators across the U.S. with more than 40 sending organizations around the world. Exchange visitor programs are administered by the State Department. The State Department designates sponsors to administer individual programs and permits such sponsors to issue an DS2019 form, which students use to secure the J-1 exchange visitor visa. PAX is designated as an Exchange Visitor Program. Pax.org

To improve performance of SITEINFO service and to prevent its excessive high-volume use by a single source, we implemented a randomly generated Access Code that must be entered before running a SITEINFO request.

The Access Code in the box is provided in graphics format. It has letters which are generated randomly and the symbol images are distorted.

Only humans can read the distorted symbols and pass the access code. The Access Code improves performance of our services. It prevents excessive high-volume use by a single source.
