Friendship Program
The Friendship Program links international visitors, students and scholars with local hosts to share customs, improve their English skills, and add a personal dimension to their experience of studying or working in Northern California. Local hosts may invite their international visitors for occasional meals, bike rides, walks, sports events, the Davis Farmers’ Market, movies, trips, holiday celebrations and outings. All participants in this program are volunteers. Their reward is the satisfactions of making new friends and learning about other cultures and viewpoints, which often results in life-long friendships.
