In the next five years, we are in a mission to connect 500 cities in Africa with other cities in the United States. Aiming to foster long-lasting diplomatic and cultural relationships, with the goal to promote peace, respect and mutual understanding across borders.
In addition to the highly leveraged financial and volunteering models that appeal to philanthropists, the visibility and prominence of SCI in the public and commercial sectors attract individuals and corporations pursuing economic and social interests.
SCI programs engage leaders from the community to the national level, as well as youth, and business leaders. These connections form on an intimate level, with citizen diplomacy offering individuals of all ages, extraordinary opportunities for personal growth.
Our geographical reach includes nearly every state, country, and continent in the world. Today, after more than 60 years, tens of thousands of citizen diplomat sand volunteers in over 500 U.S. member communities enjoy more than 1,800 partnerships in 138 countries on 6 continents.
