FIUTS Annual Campaign 2026: For Those who come next

前人栽树，后人乘凉 

One generation plants the trees; the next enjoys their shade

Since 1948, FIUTS has been planting something simple and lasting: the belief that when young people from around the world are welcomed and supported here, our region grows because of it. For 78 years, one generation of supporters has made that community possible for the next.

FIUTS is powered by community!

Do you have a great idea for an event or local excursion that you think would interest the FIUTS community? Share your idea, and our team can help you bring it to our community!
