and our relationship with our sister company, Participate Inc.
Timeline
1987
Participate Learning was founded as Visiting International Faculty, and later VIF International Education, to promote and celebrate the value of international perspectives in U.S. education through international teachers.
1990-2017
Over time, we refined our offerings to add global and dual language programs and also created an online collaborative professional development platform.
2017
VIF International Education changed its company name to Participate in order to more accurately reflect our current programs and services, today and in the years to come.
2019- present
In an effort to better serve our specific, respective audiences, Participate divided into two separate companies, Participate Learning and Participate Inc.
