​What is a Friendship Force Journey?

A journey is the process through which Friendship Force Clubs around the world meet and foster goodwill and develop lasting friendships.  Journeys take place between clubs.  Ambassadors travel with their home club and are hosted by clubs in other countries. On an inbound journey, our members host the Ambassadors from the travelling club in our homes and likewise on a outbound journey, we stay in our hosts' homes.

​

​

Friendship Force International and individual clubs are monitoring and responding to the current public health crisis.

Some planned journeys will not take place. Please keep checking here 

or send an inquiry to our board members

for up-to-date information.
