INTERNATIONAL
FRIENDSHIP
COMMITTEE
of NORTH PENN
HIGH SCHOOL

Lansdale, Pennsylvania

       The goal of the North Penn International Friendship Committee (NPIFC) is to promote international understanding and goodwill among the people of the world through participation in non-profit exchange programs at North Penn High School. The committee is the official representative for the high school principal in administering the exchange program. The approved programs for North Penn High School include American Field Service (AFS), Youth for Understanding (YFU), and the International Friendship Exchange (IFE). The International Friendship Exchange (IFE) includes direct sister school relationships with schools in Aalen, Germany; Salzgitter, Germany; and Toulouse, France. Each year the NPIFC sends students abroad and receives students to North Penn for a year of study through these programs.

Please report any unusual circumstances regarding the exchange program to the North Penn International Friendship Committee by contacting us at our email address northpennifc@yahoo.com

In addition the Department of State has implemented a contact for secondary school students which became effective August 1, 2009.

This toll free number is made available for host families, exchange students and anyone who wishes to report circumstances impacting the students’ health, safety and well being during their exchange visitor program. This toll free number is (1-866-283-9090) and the Department’s email address is jvisas@state.gov
