Santa Cruz Sister Cities

The City of Santa Cruz desires to establish relationships with towns and localities abroad to provide opportunities to build friendships, learn about other cultures, and foster international understanding. To this end, the City of Santa Cruz has established the Santa Cruz Sister Cities Committee, a volunteer group of ordinary citizens who, with the support of local elected officials, form long-term relationships with people and organizations in cities abroad. Through people-to-people relationships, the committee pursues activities and exchanges in thematic areas that are important to both communities, including municipal, business, trade, educational, and cultural exchanges.
