Our Story

The Rockville Sister Cities Corporation (RSCC) is a non-profit, all-volunteer, people-to-people organization, affiliated with Sister Cities International, Inc.  Our organization is dedicated to conducting Rockville’s Sister City relationships.  RSCC also conducts robust local initiatives, which include all of Rockville’s citizens in Rockville’s Sister Cities Program.

Incorporated on June 24, 1986, the Rockville Sister Cities Corporation formed to plan and support exchange programs and other intercultural activities between Rockville and its Sister Cities: Pinneberg, Germany and Yilan City, Taiwan. In addition to international exchanges and numerous local events, we publish a newsletter iperiodically detailing Rockville Sister Cities Program activities, and host a website with ongoing information. The RSCC Board of Directors meets each month. Membership is open to any individual, family, or corporation, which upholds Rockville Sister Cities Corporation values, affirms the Corporation Bylaws and advocates for the continuation of the Rockville Sister Cities Corporation and its programs.

Sister Cities members come from many backgrounds, while share a common interest in making our world a little smaller, a little friendlier, and a little more understanding, through partnership with cities in other countries and in our own local communities. We enjoy getting to know our own neighbors, whom share our common interests and working together on projects to support our exchanges and local programs.

If you enjoy international travel, hosting foreign guests in your home, helping high school students realize the dream of a trip to another country, and meeting other people with similar interests, Rockville Sister Cities is for you!
