Open World Program 2005

Welcome! This page has been created as a resource for Friendship Force hosts for the 2005 Open World Program.

You are a part of Friendship Force history!

Since the inauguration of the Open World Program in 1999, Friendship Force International has hosted delegations each year. Over the past six years, this has brought us more than1000 Open World delegates, with a peak participation in 2000 and 2002 of just under 300 delegates each year. In 2004, we received 238 delegates, who enjoyed an arrival orientation program in Atlanta followed by hosting in 23 different communities in eighteen different states. We consider the entire history of our involvement in this program to be a great success, both with the participants and with our local host families. Our members believe in the importance of the Open World Program and the need to expose these young leaders to the workings of American civil society.
