Founder’s Message
More than an organization
When I created Global Exchange USA, I envisioned more than an organization. I saw a community. A space where people from every background could come together, share their stories, and celebrate the beauty of our differences.
Having lived, worked, and connected across cultures myself, I’ve learned that the most meaningful growth happens when we listen, learn, and engage beyond borders. Through Global Exchange, we’re creating opportunities for real connection where culture, conversation, and collaboration meet.
Whether through a shared meal, a conversation at one of our events, or a new friendship formed, every moment of exchange brings us closer to understanding one another. That’s what this movement is about; building a world where cultures connect and every voice belongs.
Warmly,
Mitchell Coles
Founder & President, Global Exchange USA

We believe that real change begins with human connection. When people from different nations, backgrounds, and perspectives come together to learn from one another, barriers fall and understanding grows.
