Friendship Force
Become a Host One of the best ways to promote global understanding across the barriers that separate people is to host an ambassador in your home. Show them your community, city, country and culture, and learn about theirs over meals, laughter, and shared experiences. Travel the world Be welcomed into someone’s home. Immerse yourself in their local culture. Invite travelers from other places into your own home and proudly share your culture with them. Since 1977, the travel exchange movement pioneered by Friendship Force International has given people the unique opportunity to connect in ways that transcend boundaries to promote goodwill, respect, and understanding. This kind of intimate, life changing experience may not be for everyone, but for thousands of Friendship Force members worldwide, the personal relationships we’ve established are a powerful and authentic way to impact positive change and empathy around the world. MAKE FRIENDS ACROSS THE WORLD Become an ambassador of the Friendship Force today. WATCH VIDEO 2019

Explore: We explore new countries and regions. We explore new cultures and new ways to connect across the barriers that separate us. Understand: By sharing a home, meals, conversation and everyday experiences, people become friends, seeing beyond governments and borders into the heart of a country and its people. By combining home hospitality with cultural exploration, we reach a new level of understanding. Serve: Exploration leads to understanding. Understanding leads to an acceptance of our common humanity and the desire to serve our global village – with words and actions.
