The Branson J-1 CSG (Community Support Group) 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 BridgeUSA participants
in Branson.
As of July 2017, the Branson CSG is run and managed under the guidance of the Taney County Partnership.
The Branson area is the top destination in the state of Missouri for international students on the BridgeUSA J-1 Visa program. Several visa sponsors place students in the Branson area every year.
