When you travel or host with Friendship Force, you have the opportunity to share knowledge of your country and culture with new friends from around the world.
Most exchanges include home stays with local hosts who welcome international visitors into their culture, sharing meals with them, conversation, and the best sights and experiences of their region. You get to share real life with a local family and learn about a culture from the inside.
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
There is no better way to see a new place than with a friend who knows all the best places rather than the tourist traps. Explore special locations, restaurants, shopping that the locals visit and revere as gems of their country.
WE ARE AMBASSADORS

WHAT WE OFFER
ABOUT FRIENDSHIP FORCE
Explore Your World. Understand Its People. Serve the Cause of Peace.
Every personal friendship that you create when you travel plays a small part in building a more peaceful world. Our travel concept is different from traditional travel with a tour group. We call trips Exchanges because we learn about other cultures and they learn about ours.
Friendship Force International is a global organization with chapters in more than 60 countries. There are over 16,000 people around the world who are already committed to peace through friendship. Friendship Force programs bring these diverse people together, into one another's cultures and homes, to share unique experiences not available to regular tourists.
The Georgetown Friendship Force chapter was formed just over a year ago and seeks to foster peace and greater understanding across cultural boundaries through international and domestic travel exchanges based upon home hosting. Friendship Force Georgetown will open the world to you!
We encourage visitors to learn more about our organization and activities by joining our Newsletter list and attending our monthly meetings.
