What we’re about

If you are curious about the world, like to travel and want to meet new people, locally, nationally and internationally, the Friendship Force is an organization for you. We have one general meeting and 2 social events each month. Everyone is welcome to attend any meeting or social event to get to know more about our group. All events and meetings are posted on this site

Friendship Force International is non-political, non-sectarian and non-profit organization. Our local Friendship Force Florida Suncoast club is part of this worldwide network of 350 clubs (local chapters) in 56 countries on six continents. Friendship Force is not a travel club. Rather, its goal is to promote peace and global understanding through personal contacts, experiences and friendships with people of other nations and cultures.

We do this by connecting with members around the world at the personal level through Journeys that are arranged by our international friendship Force office. These exchanges usually involve 20-25 member ambassadors who stay in the homes of the club members they visit as a group. When we visit other clubs and stay in their homes, and when we host members from other countries and cultures in our homes, true understanding and friendships can develop through the sharing of meals, conversation and the routine of daily life.
