Friends Forever International (FFI) provides no-cost, experiential learning and leadership development programs for New Hampshire high school students aged 14-18. Based in Durham, NH, our programs combine hands-on learning, wellness practices, team building, public speaking, service learning and community engagement to help students build self-confidence, empathetic communication skills, and a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FFI offers NH Department of Education\u2013approved, credit-bearing programs covering 8 subject areas and over 70 course topics that allow students to earn academic credit outside the traditional classroom while engaging in real-world learning. Our week-long, residential program model includes mental health awareness, healthy living, relationship-building, peer mentorship, outdoor physical play, and leadership workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through cooking meals together, collaborating on challenges, volunteering in the community, and reflecting on their growth with alumni mentors, students learn by doing. All programs are fully scholarship-based, removing financial barriers for families and ensuring access for students who may struggle to thrive in conventional school settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
