We are…
A community-driven volunteer organization offering opportunities for the youth of Garden Grove, California, to forge meaningful connections and cultivate a strong sense of community alongside their peers in Anyang, Republic of Korea.
We focus on three key things:
Igniting curiosity about diverse cultures
Fostering connections through exciting educational and exchange programs, and
Providing the youth of Garden Grove with opportunities to broaden their cultural perspectives!
In close partnership with the City of Garden Grove, we’re excited to offer students valuable resources and opportunities through the annual Student Exchange Program with the City of Anyang. And, of course, our cherished friendship with Anyang, Republic of Korea, remains a symbol of lasting and meaningful connections.
Our board and members are a dynamic group, united by a shared passion for cultural appreciation, a belief in the transformative power of travel and education, and a deep connection with our international friends and family. Our dedicated team of volunteers includes City employees, teachers and staff from the Garden Grove Unified School District, proud alumni of our programs, and a diverse range of individuals who bring their unique expertise to the table.
We work tirelessly year-round, with incredible support from our City staff, City Council, Mayor, school district, local businesses, and many other valued partners. Together, we ensure that every aspect of our program runs smoothly, safely, and successfully. This is how we make the magic happen!
