Mission: To promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation - one individual, one community at a time A sister city relationship is a long-term, cooperative relationship between two cities in different countries through which cultural, educational, business, and technical exchanges take place. The mission of sister cities is to promote peace through mutual respect
, cooperation, and understanding—one individual, one community at a time. Most sister city organizations are nonprofits staffed by volunteers from throughout the community, including students, teachers, business people, artists, municipal employees, elected officials, health professionals, retirees, and everyone in between. Founded by President Eisenhower in 1956, Sister Cities International is the national nonprofit, volunteer organization serving the sister city programs of over 570 U.S. cities with more than 2,300 partnerships in 150 countries worldwide.
