Neighbors Abroad is Palo Alto's Sister City organization. We build lasting connections between Palo Alto and communities around the world through friendship, cultural exchanges, sustainability initiatives, and shared learning that is rooted in citizen-to-citizen relationships

Neighbors Abroad is a nonprofit, all-volunteer civic organization affiliated with Sister Cities International and the City of Palo Alto. A vital part of the Palo Alto community since 1963, we’ve spent more than 60 years building global friendships and fostering cross-cultural understanding. 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, and a Friendship City relationship with Narok, Kenya. 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. We focus primarily on exchange programs, cultural enrichment, service projects, and sustainability initiatives. We also coordinate official visits from Sister City delegations to Palo Alto — and organize return visits when our local leaders travel abroad to strengthen our global ties. |
