Our Mission:
US STREAM International Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering K-12 students worldwide. Through our international speech competitions and cultural festivals at Carnegie Hall, we foster communication skills, leadership, and cross-cultural understanding, bridging the gap in access to high-quality arts and STREAM education.

We strive to bridge the gap in access to elite educational opportunities, fostering a community of confident, culturally aware global citizens.
Our Core Programs:
- International English Speech Competition: Open to K-12 students globally, this competition challenges participants in persuasive, informative, and storytelling categories. Students submit video entries, and finalists are selected to present live in New York City and other renowned venues.
