Friendship Force International

Friendship Force is a force for international goodwill.  Since its founding in 1977, The Friendship Force has brought together millions of people.

Friendship Force International is the parent organization of 364 clubs around the globe.  Friendship Force of Northern Colorado has sister clubs in 57 countries.

The Friendship Force formula for cultural exchanges promotes lasting friendships between people of different cultures.  This is accomplished through well-organized visits in the home of a host family.  The participating ambassadors and hosts develop a shared understanding of each other’s culture so that a true cultural exchange develops.  In many cases, the friendships established during an exchange continue for many years, with follow-up visits through later Friendship Force exchanges or through private visits.

Friendship Force is non-sectarian and non-political;  the goal is to foster lifelong friendships and understanding throughout the globe.
