Friends Forever International (FFI) is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that believes it can help build a better world by empowering our most underutilized asset: youth. FFI is looking for New Hampshire’s most motivated 14–18-year-olds to trade their screens for the mountains and their classrooms for a canoe. FFI has two high-intensity, residential experiences scheduled this summer, and because FFI believes in investing in local talent, every accepted student receives a 100% full-tuition scholarship.

The 2026 NH Summer Lineup:

  • Art Afloat (June 18 – June 25): This is a week of overnight camping on a pristine Vermont lake. Students will hike peaks, canoe, and create nature-inspired art with a crew of other NH students.
  • Wellness Warriors (June 26 – July 3): A residential program where students live together and train to be the “mentors” their communities need. They’ll master mindful movement and mental health leadership alongside peers from across the state.
