Your contributions help sustain our programs and connect Detroit to the world. Our grants only go so far and we rely on the generosity of our members and friends to promote public diplomacy in Southeast Michigan.

By opening your home to international visitors, you are given the opportunity to experience a new culture and build lasting friendships. Some delegations only visit for a weekend, but others may have extended visits to the Detroit Metro area. Homestays give you the opportunity to share your own culture and insight while building lasting friendships. 

Share information and ideas with a professional counterpart from across the globe. Our international visitors come to Detroit to learn about how we do business and your experiences could shed some light on specialized topics of conversation. This cultural exchange could also give you a few ideas to help your own business prosper.

Can’t host a visitor, but would still like to help out? There is plenty of opportunity to assist in planning one of our upcoming events, meetings, or dinners. From fundraisers to networking events, every one of our events requires planning and set-up.

Volunteer to help plan or work at one of our upcoming events (dinners, networking events, annual gala, fundraising auction, virtual exchanges and more)

In order to continue our mission of public diplomacy in Southeastern Michigan, we need help from volunteers like you! Participate in recruitment events, talk about Global Ties Detroit to people in the community, and spread the word about our organization to potential donors.
