Our Story
In the early 1950s, a dedicated group of volunteers began a mission to connect international students in Miami with the local community. They organized dinners with local families and sightseeing excursions, laying the groundwork for what would become a vibrant network of citizen diplomacy. In collaboration with Frances L. Wolfson and her organization, the Council for International Visitors of Greater Miami was established. Today, over 60 years later, Global Ties Miami continues to strengthen goodwill ties and foster peaceful relationships worldwide.
