The Friendship Force of Wellington was established on 5th March 1985 and we have been active since then in the promotion of Friendship Force exchanges. Members have enjoyed hosting many groups from other countries and shared special experiences of Outward Exchanges with friends from our own or other New Zealand clubs.

We are proud of our record of quality exchanges. The focus is on "FACES not PLACES" sharing our lifestyle, culture and our beautiful city with our new friends. Exchanges are a whole club affair, with a week long programme being organised for our overseas guests.

Located close at hand we have rain forests, mountains, rugged coastlines and a wonderful modern city for you to enjoy. Tours may include 4 wheel drive forestry track tour, coastline vintage car tour, Maori culture, The Museum on New Zealand (Te Papa) and much more.

We will provide you with a warm welcome, two full days of activities or tours and a farewell dinner. We allow plenty of time for you to get to know your hosts and if desired, explore Wellington city on your own.

Between exchanges, our club has a social committee, which organises functions such as pot-luck dinners, theatre evenings, picnics. This helps promote a strong base of friendship within the club.

Our club committee work with Friendship Force International in Atlanta in the organisation and management of Exchange Programmes.

So if you would like a week of a great Kiwi culture and friendship, then come down under and visit Wellington. We will meet you on arrival, airport, bus or train.
