Winona International Friendship Association

Winona International Friendship Association was founded in 2014 to run the City of Winona's sister program.  However the relationships between the city of Misato and the City of Bytow have existed for 20+ years.  

​

They are active healthy relationships that encompass a large number of community members.  Both cities boast exchange programs allowing over 800 students and adults to travel to both Japan and Poland over the last 17 years. This program has allowed Winonans to build relationships, broaden their experience and understanding of the world.   

 

​

Our friendships have only grown over the last 20 years and have enriched the lives of people in these communities changing the lives of all that have experienced the program first hand.

​

We have a healthy group of volunteers and sponsors that make sure these trips continue.
