250 Voices with Global Cleveland

For 15 years, Global Cleveland has helped international individuals and families find connection, opportunity, and belonging while strengthening our region's economy and workforce. As America commemorates its 250th anniversary, Global Cleveland is celebrating 15 years of impact by collecting 250 Messages of Welcome from people across Northeast Ohio.

Will you be one of the 250 people to share a message of welcome?

A simple message can remind someone they are valued, reassure them they belong, and help transform uncertainty into hope.
