Who are we?
Friendship Force Cornwall is just one of 356
Friendship Force Clubs active in 55 countries on six
continents.
Under the guidance of Friendship Force International
in Atlanta Georgia, we learn about other people's
culture and experiences the only real way you can
and that is by sharing their roof and putting your feet
under their table. At first you may be hesitant,
especially if you aren't fluent in another language, but
it can be a great and rewarding experience to join in
their daily activities and specially planned events.
After making these special friendships and
exchanging cultures, your hosts will in turn want to
visit our club and learn more about us - much more
than can be found in a travel guide or on the Internet.
As other clubs around the world learn more about our
beautiful part of the world, they will also want to visit
us and we in turn will visit them, exchanging a world of experiences and friends that will last a
lifetime.
How we do this is by club "exchanges," the heart of the Friendship Force organisation.
During a club exchange club members or "Ambassadors" visit a club as a group of about 15 to 25,
sharing in group travel costs and having the comfort of travelling with friends. One of the club
members serves as the Exchange Director, to make sure that everyone gets there and back without
a hitch.
If you belong to a Friendship Force Club you can also join another club's exchange, if they are
going to a place you have always wanted to visit. You can search for a club on the Friendship Force
International site by clicking HERE

information on the new UK website HERE
One of our newer members, Harry, hosted incoming guests from Costa Rica recently. It was his first
experience of Friendship Force hosting and you can read the account of his experiences HERE
