These three words are simple and easily translated into other languages, and they capture the essence of the Friendship Force mission.

Explore

Each Friendship Force experience begins with the desire to explore. We explore new countries and regions; we explore new cultures and new ways to connect across the barriers that separate us.

Understand

Through home hospitality the Friendship Force introduces people at the personal level. By sharing a home, meals, & conversation, people become friends, seeing beyond governments and borders into the heart of a country and its people. By combining home hospitality with cultural exploration, Friendship Force ambassadors and hosts reach a new level of understanding. We learn to celebrate and enjoy our differences and, most importantly, we learn that differences don’t need to divide.

Serve

Exploration leads to understanding. Understanding leads to a profound experience of our common humanity and the desire to serve our global village—with words and actions that support each other.
