Family Friendship Application

International families come to Columbia with the goals of meeting Americans and developing a better understanding of their culture. This is often difficult and it is estimated that 70% of the international visitors never see the inside of an American home. This program is designed to encourage Asian and American families to meet at least twice each month.

One of these meetings may be at a monthly event organized by the Asian Affairs Center. The second meeting might be supper in your home, a trip to a local festival, or sledding at Stephens Park. The Family Friendship Exchange program provides an excellent opportunity to "build global friendships one family at a time.
