Friendship Force of Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Homepage

Membership — A doorway to the world

Membership in a local club provides you access to a global network. As a member, you can participate in the following:

International & Domestic Exchanges
Stay in the home of Friendship Force members around the world. Although Ambassadors are responsible for their own expenses during exchanges, they enjoy an increased comfort level by traveling with a group they already know.
Hosting
Exchanges are made possible by the many members who are willing to host an Ambassador in their home. Hosts provide rooms and meals without reimbursement. It is a commitment, but the experience is priceless. Other options include hosting for one day or providing a meal for an Ambassador and their host(s.)
Conferences
Educational and networking opportunities are provided at the regional, national and international level.
Festivals of Friendship
Unique cultural seminars are combined with the home hosted experience.
Local Activities
Experience international flair in your own backyard. Enjoy learning about other cultures at various club events close to home, as well as social outings, picnics and potlucks.

Becoming a member is easy!
