Neighbors Abroad

Our Mission:
​ Neighbors Abroad fosters Palo Alto's domestic and international engagement through friendship, education, commerce, and sustainability. 
​
Neighbors Abroad is a non-profit, all-volunteer, civic organization affiliated with Sister Cities International and the City of Palo Alto.

Since 1963, Neighbors Abroad has exemplified the idea that citizen diplomats can change the world, one cross-border relationship at a time. We leverage Silicon Valley's diversity and resources 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 year-round programs. Across our global network, we focus on exchange programs, cultural enrichment, service projects, sustainability initiatives, and the promotion of commerce.​

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.​

Coming Full Circle in a Small World
​Sarah Burgess, President 
I’ve always heard that life comes full circle, but perhaps never fully appreciated that saying until now. In 1975, I went to Oaxaca as part of the Neighbors Abroad exchange program... Read more
