What is Friendship Force?
Friendship Force is a non-profit 501(c)(3) international cultural exchange and home hospitality program that promotes international understanding, friendship and world peace. It is a volunteer network of 300 clubs in 60 countries known as Friendship Force International (FFI).
Our Mission:
To promote global understanding across the barriers that separate people.
Our goal is to create an environment where friendships can be established across international borders. We do this by connecting people from different countries at the personal level. Home Hospitality is the signature program of Friendship Force. You will have the opportunity to be a guest in a club member’s home, usually for a week. This is a way to experience places and events not ordinarily seen as a tourist. When local hosts open their homes to visitors from other countries and cultures, friendship and understanding can develop through the sharing of meals, conversation and the routines of daily life. Group activities are arranged to include other club members to expand the potential of friendship beyond the host family.
