     Friendship Force Florida Suncoast is part of Friendship Force International. We are not just a travel club, but we do enjoy traveling and hosting new friends from around the world.

See tab marked Suncoast to learn more about our club, and tab marked 'JOIN' to learn more about the Friendship Force organization.

     Friendship Force International, a 1992 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, is an international nonprofit, volunteer organization with 375 clubs active in 56 countries on six continents. It was founded in 1977.

     As you learn more about Friendship Force, you will find that our members are attracted by the cultural exchange, social activities and travel opportunities offered by our local chapter and our international Friendship Force organization that is based in Atlanta. We all share a common mission to promote global understanding across the barriers that separate people.

     We do this by connecting people from different countries at the personal level through inbound and outbound exchanges.  When we visit or receive Friendship Force members from other countries and cultures, true understanding can develop through the sharing of meals, conversation and the routines of daily life. Since 1977, FFI has brought together millions of people. 

     In fact, our organization has been so successful in its mission that Friendship Force was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992.
