WHY?

Mission Statement:

The Fremont community desires to reach beyond our borders and create an atmosphere where international understanding and an exchange of ideas can flourish.

  • Continue the measured success of currently running programs for the children and adults of our community such as the exchange program at the middle school, high school, and community level, letter exchanges between the schools' students and administrators, art exchange of children of all ages, and community receptions for visiting delegations.
  • Enhance ongoing community exchanges in the areas of interests such as: art, agriculture, business, culture, education, and athletics.
  • Develop a broad base plan to meet the needs of our international guests that will include: home-stays, receptions, tours, etc.
  • Utilize various communication tools such as www, e-mail, scholastic newsletters, chamber mailings, newsletters, and booklets to enhance the exchange and growth between the two friendship communities. Use these methods to enhance the awareness of the program and promote the goals.
  • Encourage continuing long term relationships between individuals, groups, and home-stay families as another way of evaluating the long term benefits for participants. Expand the alumni base through activities, directory, networking; inform civic and service organizations.
  • Work to develop a secure financial base of support to help ensure continued programs.
