Home of American Spaces

Connect, Share, Learn

American Spaces are local places for foreign residents to connect – with people, with ideas and with the United States through collaboration and self-discovery. The Office of American Spaces has redesigned this website to be a comprehensive resource for the most current and relevant information available to support managers, coordinators and operators of American Spaces in providing those experiences to their visitors.

We are excited to introduce a Community Forum. This was created to enable everyone working with American Spaces around the world to connect, help each other, learn and share creative ways to engage audiences in your communities and to achieve your goals. Register to start contributing your thoughts and ideas and make the Forum a vibrant sharing space for our community.

All useful resources have been migrated into sections titled management, programming, training and design. A fully revised all-digital American Spaces handbook is part of the management section. A communications section describes the various channels and their purposes, while the pages about us provide background information. Our goal is for this site to be the go-to, one-stop shop for everything American Spaces!
