ABOUT OMAHA SISTER CITIES
The Omaha Sister Cities Association (OSCA) is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization promoting citizen diplomacy between Omaha and nine sister cities in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. We enhance our community’s global awareness through cultural, educational, humanitarian, and economic development connections. The organization also brings like-minded people from our sister cities to Omaha to develop cross-cultural relationships with our citizens through youth exchanges, family homestays, and cultural events.
We operate on membership dues, corporate and personal contributions, and event income. We are not funded by the City of Omaha. Most of our expenses are from hosting visiting delegations from our sister cities, publishing our newsletter, and other special projects and events.
We have been a successful and growing organization for more than 60 years. Our sister city affiliations are approved by the Omaha City Council and the Mayor. These government officials are important participants in our sister city delegation visits and in hosting our visitors in Omaha. We attribute our success to our city government leadership and the broad base of student and adult volunteers.
