The Pendleton Cultural Foundation is a non-profit organization that carries out the Sister City cultural exchange between the City of Pendleton and the City of Minamisoma, Japan.  We coordinate an annual exchange of culture between Minamisoma and Pendleton area students. The exchange impacts the individual students chosen for the exchange and people in both communities who meet the students out in the community or who become involved in the exchange as host families or day hosts.
