“To promote global understanding across the barriers that separate people.”
Friendship Force Dallas’s Mission is to promote global understanding across the barriers that separate people. Through home-hosting and meaningful travel experiences, participants learn about other cultures, develop a better understanding of our world, and discover our shared humanity.
FF Dallas was incorporated in 1994 as a 501(c)3 organization and is one of over 300 Friendship Force International (FFI) clubs in over 60 countries. We participate in Journeys (visiting other clubs or hosting other club members), local club events, as well as regional and world conferences.

Journeys
Each year, we host Inbound Journeys from clubs in other countries or the USA. During the journey, our members host the Inbound Ambassadors in their homes as we introduce them to the Dallas area. Other members host for a day or host an event. We also travel on Outbound Journey to clubs in other countries or the USA. We become part of another family’s life and explore and learn about their world. Sometimes, we visit two clubs back-to-back. Or we include a tour before or after the journey.
Visitors and guests are welcome on Inbounds and Outbounds!
