Our Mission

Promote peace through the respect we show, understanding we foster and

cooperation we seek with our Sister Cities around the world - one individual,

one community at a time.

Sister Cities of Louisville strives to foster a continuing reciprocal relationship

between the people of Louisville and our Sister Cities. To that end, SCL

promotes, fosters, and publicizes local, state, and national programs of

international municipal cooperation. Likewise, SCL encourages other

organizations to engage and participate in such programs, and to promote

friendly relations and mutual understanding.

SCL is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to global friendship,

multicultural understanding, and economic growth by developing lasting

relationships between the Louisville area and Sister Cities around the world.

For over forty years, SCL has been highly recognized in the community as

an international citizen diplomacy network. At Sister Cities of Louisville,

we believe in establishing people-to-people connections with our citizens

and twin partners.
