Leaders will discover how to wear their Super CAPE© (Compassionate Communication, Assuming Positive Intent, IDEAB Principles, and Empathy Before Accusation) and cultivate a culture of connection, trust, and belonging.
Through real-life stories, practical tools, and engaging activities, attendees will gain skills to model empathy, navigate challenges with grace, and infuse joy into their leadership.

We are excited to once again host eight Youth Friendship Ambassadors and two Adult Friendship Ambassadors from Richmond’s sister city of Shimada, Japan. We would love to introduce you to the Shimada Ambassadors and share more about our annual youth exchange programs, including our summer Richmond Friendship Ambassador program for high school sophomores and juniors.
Sister City relationships are an essential part of a commitment to global peace and friendship. In-person exchanges are an invaluable tool for bridging cultural differences and creating lifelong friendships. Richmond has one of the oldest active US-Japan Sister City relationships in the country, thanks to the dedication and participation of many volunteers and supporters over the last 60+ years. We are so grateful for the Richmond Rotary’s support in our mission!
