Who We Are

The Odyssey International Group is a consortium of cultural exchange organizations with the mission of building bridges between cultures to promote a global future.

Headquartered in Beverly Hills, California with offices in Hawaii, France, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico and the Philippines, Odyssey International is designated by the U.S. Department of State to sponsor foreign university students, recent graduates and young professionals in the Bridge USA J-1 Exchange Program in the INTERN, TRAINEE and CAMP COUNSELOR categories. 

In addition to sponsorship for these programs, we provide all-inclusive recruitment and placement opportunities for our participants through our extensive network of US-based businesses. Odyssey International’s philosophy is to develop sustainable but flexible recruitment and sponsorship systems based on our conviction that “one program does not fit all”. Our proactive recruitment strategies can be individually tailored for each one of our program stakeholders including our partner schools, host companies and international participants.
