The Branson Exchange Visitor (J-1) Community Support Group (CSG) was established in 2015 by the Branson J-1 Consortium. The Consortium includes various J-1 Visa Sponsors, Community Leaders, Community organizations and area employers dedicated to supporting the Summer Work and Travel program and J-1 visa exchange visitor participants in Branson. In 2018, Taney County Partnership adopted the CSG and now manages cultural events and activities for students, provides educational opportunities for employers/community members, and maintains an annual budget.

We meet every 4th Monday of the month at 10 AM at the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce. Meetings are structured and agendas are sent in advance. Teleconference options are also available for those unavailable to attend in person. To get on the mailing list to receive updates on future CSG meetings and details about upcoming events, please sign up below!
