Be more than a tourist. Travel for good.

Whether you're planting a community garden in Jamaica, practicing Spanish in Colombia, or cycling with locals in Germany, every personal friendship you create when you travel plays a small part in building a more peaceful world.

Multiply that effect by 16,000 -- that's the number of people around the world already committed to peace through friendship. They are the Friendship Force.

With volunteers on the ground in 63 countries, our programs bring these diverse people together, into one another's cultures and even homes, to share one-of-a-kind experiences not available to regular tourists.

Through these exciting personal encounters, strangers become friends -- and if we can build a world of friends, we can build a world of peace.

Our members are ordinary people just like you, who travel or host in the name of global friendship.

​Be the bridge.

Bridges span divides and barriers between people, places, and cultures. " Let there be peace in the world, and let it begin with me. " "Be the change you wish to see". The Mission of Friendship Force International, is to cross the barriers that separate us as people.
