MISSION: To promote world peace and understanding by creating an environment where individual friendships
can be established across the barriers that separate people. Friendship Force International is
a non-profit organization dedicated to the principle that each person can make a contribution to global goodwill. Home
hosting, the heart of a Friendship Force exchange, provides the opportunity for ambassadors of different countries and cultures
to connect at a personal level. More than half a million participants have experienced the personal enrichment and cross-cultural
understanding that results from a Friendship Force exchange, since it was organized in 1977. The ever-widening global
network represents a powerful and growing force that can overcome differences between people and nations.
The Friendship Force Club is truly a unique concept. For over thirty ears, people who were complete strangers to
one another and to their respective cultures have come together in short, close encounters in the hosts home, becoming life
long friends in the process. Club members travel all over the world and usually have a fun time doing it.
But travel is not the purpose of Friendship Force. It is but the means to the end of developing friendships and learning
to love others who before seemed so distant and different. Each new relationship that develops into true friendship
reduces the chance of misunderstanding and animosity between countries of the world. Our
moto "A World of Friends is a World of Peace"
