Sister Cities Association of Cary, Inc.

Cary Sister Cities is a volunteer-run nonprofit that builds friendships between Cary and cities in other countries, one partnership at a time. The work happens through cultural exchange, education, and ordinary community connection, which mostly means people meeting other people.

It is the local chapter of Sister Cities International, which has been putting together cultural, educational, information, and trade exchanges since 1956. Because the association runs entirely on volunteers, anyone in town with an interest in the wider world can find a place in the work.
