Preparing for the unexpected
Insurance that would cover your medical care and emergency evacuation/repatriation of remains is a requirement in order to participate in a Friendship Force Journey. See page 5 of the 2022-23 Policies and Guidelines for Clubs and Programs for more information.
Friendship Force International does provide policies for purchase for both US and Non-US residents.

⇒ You may have insurance benefits via your credit card company. It is worth checking to see what coverage you may have. ⇒ You may not have insurance coverage for travel outside of your home state or country. It is a good idea to check with your insurance company to ask what coverage you do have. ⇒ You can also shop travel insurance policies through www.insuremytrip.com.
