We Are Friends Foundation

We Are Friends Foundation We Are Friends Foundation is a veteran-led initiative empowering youth in the U.S., Japan, and Korea. We live in a global world.

Through leadership programs, media literacy, and mentorship, we help the next generation strengthen democratic values and combat disinformation. As the traditional borders collapse and people of different cultures have opportunities to interact, we see friendship will be a catalyst to strengthen those interconnected ties for future generations. We seek to promote friendship and share the values an
