About the Club

Our primary emphasis is for the Host Family and Ambassadors to get to know each other and share cultures. We take pride in giving our ambassadors a chance to enjoy our Southern hospitality, picturesque countryside, mountains and friendly people.

Our theme for inbound journeys is “Mountains and Music”. Typical activities will include a welcome dinner and a farewell party where all FFK members also join in the festivities. Other activities may include visiting museums, learning about the history of the area, hiking in the mountains, shopping for local crafts, exploring the Knoxville downtown area, enjoying live music and participating in local festivals. 

Through such activities, we bond with our Ambassadors, establishing long and lasting friendships, and hope they take a fond memory of our beautiful East Tennessee and friendly people back home with them.
