Fountain Hills Sister Cities (FHSC) invites all current members to renew their membership dues for the 2024-2025 season, and new members to consider joining.

Since 2000, FHSC has been a 501(c)3 nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to promoting peace, hope and human connection through citizen diplomacy and mutually beneficial relationships with partner cities in other countries.

Throughout the year, FHSC promotes youth, cultural, educational and humanitarian programs that provide opportunities to share, appreciate, respect and celebrate the similarities and diversities of values, heritage and culture.

FHSC has three Sister Cities: Ataco, El Salvador; Dierdorf, Germany; and Zamosc, Poland.

An active search with input from the Fountain Hills community has begun to pursue an additional Sister City partner.

Local membership has a global impact, allowing FHSC to invest in students and educate them about Sister Cities initiatives and offer scholarships to FHHS students, a press release said.

Membership to FHSC also allows for the sponsorship of excursions to visiting exchange students and grants humanitarian support for partner cities in times of desperate need.

Membership to FHSC also facilitates the development of interactive lectures and the creation of engaging programs and partnerships with other organizations.

To join or renew FHSC membership, visit fountainhillssistercities.org/membership/.

FHSC membership fees are tax-deductible and are available at various fee and benefit levels.
