The US-CUBA Sister Cities Association has been created out of the efforts of citizens nationwide to form sister city partnerships with their counterparts in Cuba. It aims to build on their successes while limiting the frustrations related to re-establishing constructive relations between our peoples, nations and governments.
USCSCA believes the people of Cuba are part of our shared world and should not be isolated or exempted from the global community or refused the mutual benefits of sister city programs on the basis of political considerations or agendas.
Mission Statement
To foster sister city relationships and understanding through mutually beneficial exchanges between individuals, community groups, organizations, and institutions in the United States with counterparts in Cuba.
Goals
- To develop community partnerships between US cities, counties, and states with similar jurisdictions in Cuba.
- To create opportunities for city officials and citizens to experience and explore another culture through long-term community partnerships.
- To stimulate environments through which communities will creatively learn, work and solve problems together through reciprocal cultural, educational, municipal, business, professional, and technological exchanges and projects.
- To create an atmosphere in which mutual community and eventual economic development can be enabled and strengthened.
- To collaborate with organizations and individuals in the US & Cuba that share similar goals and objectives.
