Friends Forever International (FFI) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1986 with a mission to help youth become the best version of themselves so they can help their communities become the best version of themselves. Through year-long leadership programs, FFI empowers young people to lead with empathy, resilience, and purpose.

FFI serves youth from all backgrounds—regardless of geography, income, race, religion, or political belief. Whether from rural areas, cities, suburbs, or small towns, every participant is welcomed into a program designed to build connection, self-awareness, and real-world leadership skills. All accepted applicants receive a 100 percent scholarship, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation.

Participants are nominated by schools, youth organizations, and community leaders and commit to a full year of workshops, service projects, public speaking, group challenges, and reflection. Programs are grounded in human connection, technology-free environments, and opportunities to work across lines of difference.

FFI operates from its main campus in Durham, New Hampshire, and runs additional programs through its international hubs in Northern Ireland and Belize. Since its founding, FFI has worked with more than 2,500 young people from over 25 countries and is currently the largest in-person, out-of-school provider of high school credit-bearing leadership courses in the United States.

All donations to this campaign directly support program costs including meals, transportation, staffing, materials, and long-term mentorship. Your contribution ensures that FFI can continue to deliver life-changing leadership development to youth who will become the next generation of educators, business leaders, environmental stewards, nonprofit changemakers, and public servants.

Friends Forever International is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
