Friendship Force is all about bringing people from different backgrounds together to promote peace, understanding and goodwill throughout the world. Members go on trips (journeys) all over the world to visit other Friendship Force clubs, and most times they are home-hosted. We learn about one another’s cultures and make new, lifelong friends.
Please join us on Sunday, May 18th at 3pm for a
presentation by the Medford Alba Sister City Association Scholarship Recipients
This year Friendship Force of Southern Oregon awarded a $1,000 scholarship to the Medford Alba Sister City Association. This donation helped fund a trip by 16 Medford high school students to Alba, Italy to participate in the latest exchange. High school students from Medford, Oregon and Alba, Italy have been participating in exchanges for the past 40 years. The Medford high school students spent two weeks living with Alba host families while getting to know the Alba students. Sharing daily life with an Italian “sibling” offers a deeper, more person understanding of traditions, values and perspectives that no classroom can provide. Please come join us to hear all about their experiences in Alba, Italy.
Everyone is welcome to attend. Please invite your friends!
