The Japan-America Society of Georgia's Friendship Family Program (FFP) gives Japanese undergraduate university students who are living in dorms the opportunity to become acquainted with local families in the metro-Atlanta area. The Friendship Family Program pairs students with families who welcome them to the U.S. and help them adjust to college life in Atlanta. Students and families get to know one another through occasional visits to host families' homes, going on outings, attending FFP events, and spending special occasions together. The FFP experience provides students with a unique "window into American culture." After being paired, students and families arrange to spend time together on their own as often as mutually desired. Friendship Families may include their student in informal dinners, holiday celebrations, occasional family outings, or any other event that adds to the richness of his/her experience in the U.S. Why Befriend? Meet exceptional students from Japan and discover a new culture & language while sharing your own family customs and make a positive impact on the course of a young person's life.
