Global Village Welcome Center

Global Village Welcome Center

Our most recent project is transforming a recently purchased 56,000 square foot building into the Global Village Welcome Center to create the ultimate cultural destination welcome to everyone. But first, funding is needed to help renovate the space, provide exhibit design and more to help "Shrink the Globe and Create a Village." Since donations are key to our growth and success, please consider donating $10, $25, $50 - whatever amount you are able to give.
