Welcome
TO SOCAL SISTER CITIES
Southern California Chapter of Sister Cities

Sister Cities is all about understanding -- promoting respect among people of different cultures at a time when the importance of learning to live together has never been more critical. Citizen diplomats are reaching out, one-on-one, to citizens in other communities around the world, promoting peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation -- one individual, one community at a time.

Today, there are more than 2,200 communities in 123 countries in our global network. Shouldn't your community be a part of this vital grass roots effort?  learn more

"The Sister Cities Program is an important resource to the negotiations of governments in letting the people themselves give expression of their common desire for friendship, goodwill and cooperation for a better world for all."
~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower
