Experience Different Views - Discover Common Ground

Welcome to the Brandon and Area Friendship Force
The basic Friendship Force formula has visiting "ambassadors" spending a week in the home of a host family. While each journey is in just one direction, either inbound or outbound, the participating ambassadors and the hosts both develop a shared understanding of each other’s culture and life style, so that true cultural awareness takes place. It is travel or hosting in the name of global friendship with a focus on "faces, not places." In many cases, the personal friendships established during a visit continue for many years, with follow-up visits through later private trips, or through another Friendship Force journey.

Membership is open to anyone in Brandon and Area who enjoys meeting new people and is interested in learning about other cultures.
