Welcome to One World Café Galveston

Galveston has long been a welcoming destination for international exchange participants who contribute their talents, perspectives, and energy to the local community each year. 

One World Café Galveston is CIEE’s local investment in the community where exchange happens—a physical hub and gathering place where participants, employers, host families, and community partners come together through cultural events, support resources, workforce initiatives, and community engagement opportunities. 

Together, we’re helping participants thrive, employers succeed, and strengthening the community connections that make exchange possible.
