Mission Statement:
“To foster sister city relationships and understanding through mutually beneficial exchanges between individuals, community groups, and institutions in the United States with counterparts in Cuba.”
The U.S.-Cuba Sister Cities Association is a national 501.c3 non-profit organization that works to help individuals and institutions with an interest in Cuba establish successful contact and build sustainable relationships with Cuban counterparts.
Vision Statement:
The U.S.-Cuba Sister Cities Association (USCSCA) was founded in 1999 by individuals from many walks of life and different regions of the country, but all working on various programs or exchanges with Cuba.
They determined that the impediments they were confronting in common as individuals, were systemic and long standing, and that only by working creatively together; strategically consolidating their efforts, could they gain enough leverage to affect a fundamental change in U.S. policy that would ultimately better support their own personal interests.
Cuba also needed an institutional way to invite U.S. organizations or individuals into joint partnerships. USCSCA serves as the official channel to accomplish reciprocal bilateral exchanges with Cuba.
As a membership driven ‘citizen diplomacy’ network, USCSCA functions as an organizational way that anyone can link up with to better pursue their own interests, share their talents, and still connect with others in their own community to promote and support a peaceful future with Cuba, by initiating their own special relationship today.
