What will Sister Cities do with my donation?
Travel has finally resumed and all 2024 "Give Local" donations will be used to support youth travel on our exchanges. For 2024, youth can apply for exchanges to Ireland, German and Japan. E every dollar donated makes a difference!
Thank You 2023 Donors!
Thank You 2022 Donors!SCNN raised just over $4,200 in 2022.
An amazing 1.7 million was raised overall by non-profits in the GL 757 campaign - WOW!!!! |
In 2022, we used the funds donated to create a home here in Newport News will allows us the opportunity to introduce our Sister City partnerships to our local community.
CITY SPACE is a converted retail store in the heart of Newport News' City Center at Oyster Point. It's an opportunity to connect and learn now, while travel remains limited due to COVID 19 restrictions. Once exchanges resume, CITY SPACE will provide us a space to welcome international guests and introduce their culture to those unable to travel on an exchange. |
Over $4,000 was donated in May 2021
to support CITY SPACE!
COVID-19 IMPACT STATEMENT
For more than a year, International travel through the Sister City program has been halted due to COVID-19. In May 2020 we thought travel would resume quickly - once the virus was "under control". We were wrong. The pandemic has lead to new fears and concerns about international engagement, making our mission to connect Newport News to the world even more important. Please support us as we pivot and adapt at this unusual time. THANK YOU!
