               "One Handshake at a Time"


Tucson Council for International Visitors [TCIV]  is a nonprofit group that designs and implements professional programs and provides cultural activities and home supper hospitality opportunities for foreign leaders, specialists, and international scholars.

Citizen Diplomacy is the idea that the individual citizen has the right — even the responsibility — to help shape U.S. foreign relations "one handshake at a time."
 
By opening our homes, offices, and schools to foreign leaders participating in the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Program and other exchanges, TCIV member citizen diplomats foster international understanding and cooperation, constructive economic connections, and peaceful interaction.

                Tucson Highlights

   Welcome to Arizona's 2nd Largest City

Tucson (TOO-sahn) is a growing metropolis of 885,000 that keeps getting better and better. The city's geography is a postcard image of cactus forests, rolling hills, and craggy mountains. National and State Parks and Forests ring the city

Tucson lies in the borderland, a region that blends the cultures of the United States and Mexico, and has a long history of settlement by ancient Native American peoples, Spanish explorers, and Anglo frontiersmen.

The weather is mild nearly all the time, just right for all kinds of fun outdoor activities. 

       From Old Pueblo to Southwestern   
                                 Metropolis

Tucson was formally founded in 1775, about the time the nation's forefathers were signing the Declaration of Independence. Locally, the city is still called the Old Pueblo for the adobe fortress or "presidio" that marked its early borders.
 

Over the past three centuries, Tucson has grown from Native American farming community, to Spanish outpost, to dusty frontier town, to bustling, territorial days' railroad hub, to the mature Southwestern metropolis it is today.

Tucson enjoys more sunshine than any other city in the United States, about 350 days each year. The days, with very few exceptions are warm and sunny. The mild temperatures during spring, fall, and winter are legendary. Temperatures rise in the summer, but low humidity helps even the warmest days feel comfortable. Tucson's surprisingly lush environment is replenished by two rainy seasons.
