Neighbors Abroad

Learn More

Welcome to Neighbors Abroad 

Neighbors Abroad is a non-profit, civic organization affiliated with Sister Cities International and the City of Palo Alto.

Since 1963, Neighbors Abroad has embodied the idea that citizen diplomats can change the world, one cross-border relationship at a time. We leverage Palo Alto’s rich diversity to cultivate partnerships with eight international Sister Cities, as well as a first-of-its-kind domestic Sibling City relationship with Bloomington, Indiana. ​​

​We invite residents of Palo Alto and surrounding communities to join us in our mission to promote connections and celebrate differences through our robust offering of year-round programs. 
We focus on exchange programs, cultural enrichment, service projects, sustainability initiatives and the promotion of commerce.​

Help the Children in Ukraine​

Ukrainian Emergency Children’s Relief Fund

In the wake of Russia’s shocking invasion of Ukraine, Neighbors Abroad has partnered on a fund-raising campaign with kleine herzen (little hearts), which has operations in our German Sister City, Heidelberg. The non-profit already has an excellent track record for helping vulnerable children in Ukraine. Your tax-deductible donation will go directly to helping children who were marginalized even before this catastrophic invasion.​
