International Friends Student Application

Friendship Program

The International Friends program welcomes you to Fort Collins. This volunteer organization matches you with local residents who share similar interests to yours and who wish to learn more about your culture. Your community friend will invite you to visit their home and participate in various activities.

This program allows you to take time from your busy academic life to become acquainted with and enjoy the community around you. There is no cost to participate.

Some of your most rewarding experiences while in the United States will occur outside the classroom as you share your life with your community friend.
