“The Alliance Francaise of Greenwich would like to thank you for your efforts in including [us] in the Greenwich Choral Society trip to France honoring the Greenwich/Vienne Sister City 2008 initiative... The trip was seamless, due in no small part to your advance planning ... We thank you and your team for making this historic trip so memorable.”

- Renee Ketcham, President, Alliance Francaise of Greenwich, July 2008

“It was a great privilege to be on this tour. Working with Zubin Mehta & the Israel Philharmonic was a musical treat for all of us. I want to highlight Lillian, our tour guide. She is a big bigger-than-life personality and she made everything come alive, investing so much of herself in her descriptions. I only wish I could have seen more. Next time! It was a pleasure touring with her. Thank you for making this trip so special for us.”

- Jim F. Cunningham, Singer, July 2008

"It was great to meet you at the YA at the UN - Never have I met so many passionate and motivated young individuals than in the Assembly. Thanks for such an AMAZING experience! (...) You all are so amazing!"

- Esperanza Garcia, Youth Assembly participant 2008

"Simply Fabulous! The youth assembly set the tone for a future set up for humanity. It was most amazing for me meeting youths of my age, who have done so much even with all the constraints."

- Aduragbemi Ogunbanke, Nigerian Youth Assembly participant, 2007

MISSION: 
Friendship Ambassadors Foundation is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization that creates and leads transformative cultural exchanges, building friendships that advance mutual understanding and global peace.

WHAT WE DO: FAF organizes arts and, more broadly, cultural exchange projects in order to promote mutual understanding and global cooperation. Cultural exchange participants of all ages, in academic and diplomatic delegations, and as part of other dance, music, choral (choir), and other cultural groups partake in real interaction during their travels. Hallmarks of successful FAF programs include cultural/performance tours, conference organization, homestays abroad, reconciliation and relief programs, and special projects like our annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations, and other special group travel opportunities.

VISION: Friendship Ambassadors Foundation believes that cultural exchanges and concert performance tours abroad are special and meaningful ways for Americans to learn more about the rest of the world. Cultural gatherings of all kinds, especially dance, choral and instrumental music programs, transcend language barriers and enable a more basic, pure interaction to take place among those involved. Mutual understanding and global cooperation are encouraged by cultural exchange and essential for the education of youth – the leaders of the future – as well as to reconnect the leaders of today in ways beyond business, religion, and politics would permit. Furthermore, these programs can become valuable fund development and sustainable resource tools for the groups we serve on both ends of many exchanges, concert tours, youth assemblies, and other interactive programming worldwide.
