What is a Sister City Organization?
A sister city organization is a volunteer group of

ordinary citizens who, with the support of their local
elected officials, form long-term relationships with
people and organizations in a city abroad. Each
sister city organization is independent and pursues
the activities and thematic areas that are important
to them and their community including municipal,
business, trade, educational and cultural exchanges
with their sister city.

Sister city organizations promote peace
through people-to-people relationships-with
program offerings varying greatly from basic
cultural exchange programs to shared research
and development of projects between cities
with relationships.
