Richmond Shimada Friendship Commission Youth Friendship Ambassadors
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!
