Recent change to the Travel Protection Plan offered by Friendship Force:
Beginning Jun 1, 2025, the travel insurance policy that we offer for US residents will be changing. The new policy is also underwritten by Nationwide Insurance, but we no longer have access to a custom group policy. The coverage is similar and the price is comparable. There are even some new benefits that the old policy didn’t offer.
The payment for premiums will now be collected by Trawick International, the benefits coordinator for this plan. The Confirmation of Coverage will be sent by Trawick International. As with the old plan, the Safe Travels Journey plan is available to both Friendship Force members and their friends and family, and can be used for Friendship Force travel or personal travel.
Note: There is no change to the policy offered for non-US residents. You can access that policy by clicking this link: Safe Travels Elite

As per our policies, all Friendship Force ambassadors are required to secure adequate travel and medical insurance to cover emergencies during their journeys. Cancellation insurance isn’t required but highly recommended. The Ambassador Application and Agreement form includes the following statement: “I hereby agree to secure adequate travel and medical insurance for the duration of the journey.” This requirement can be fulfilled in one of the following ways:
- through the ambassador’s existing insurance policy if it covers international travel
- through the policy offered by FFI
- by purchasing a separate travel insurance package
