Sister City Association
Sister Cities International is a citizen diplomacy network that promotes global peace, prosperity and humanitarianism through cultural exchange.
Temple City’s Sister City began with Magdalena de Kino, Mexico (1964) and then Hawkesbury City, Australia (1984). The current Temple City Sister City Association has an active exchange program with Hawkesbury City which includes an annual student exchange program, as well as adult ambassador trips.
