Our Mission
To promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, cooperation - one individual, one community at a time.
Sister Cities International, was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956 to promote peace through people-to-people diplomacy. For nearly seventy years, SCI’s leadership and volunteers have established thousands of partnerships between U.S. cities and cities worldwide.
Sister Cities International serves as the national membership organization for sister city programs in over
400 communities, with relationships in over 1,800 communities in more than 140 countries.
We provide our members with a number of programs to support them in promoting citizen diplomacy, and our members work tirelessly to promote peace and understanding through exchanges that focus on arts and culture, youth and education, business and trade, and community development.
What we do (and what our members do) is essential in promoting the importance of international exchange and people-to-people relationships worldwide.
