The Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative brings young entrepreneurs to the U.S. for an intensive one-month fellowship in a start-up or small to mid-sized business in one of 9 U.S. cities. This program develops leadership and the entrepreneurial mindset in these Fellows and builds transatlantic partnerships between the U.S. and Europe.

The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) is the U.S. Department of State's premier professional exchange program. Through short-term visits to the United States, current and emerging foreign leaders in a variety of fields experience this country firsthand and cultivate lasting relationships with their American counterparts. Professional meetings reflect the participants' professional interests and support the foreign policy goals of the United States. The majority of WorldChicago's international delegates are participants in this program.

The Youth Leadership Program fosters mutual understanding, respect, and civic engagement among young Americans and their international peers. During the exchanges, students and educators participate in workshops, community service activities, team building exercises, meetings with community leaders, leadership development, and live with American families. Upon their return home, the students apply what they have learned to implement projects that serve needs in their communities.
