Powering the Future
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2026, Friends Forever International is working to power all of our global campuses with solar energy—beginning with our headquarters in Durham, New Hampshire.
​
Our global hubs are the heart of FFI. They are where young leaders from around the world come together to build skills, challenge perspectives, and grow into changemakers.
​
Every conversation, every challenge, and every breakthrough that happens here shapes the future.
Now, our campuses are also leading the way in how we care for that future.
Starting with Durham, NH
We are installing a solar energy system at our Durham campus to power our programs with clean, renewable energy.
​
We are proud to partner with Revision Energy, a leading New England solar provider, to design and install this system.
​
This project includes:
-
Solar panels across campus buildings
-
Inverters to convert usable energy
-
Battery storage for resilience and efficiency
-
Electric water heaters for energy efficiency
Total Investment: $80,000
​
With Revision Energy’s expertise, this installation will be designed for long-term performance, reliability, and impact.
A Global Commitment
While Durham is our starting point, our vision extends across all of our campuses, including the our center in Northern Ireland and both of our campuses in Belize.
Our goal:
By our 40th anniversary in 2026, all of our global campuses will be powered by solar energy.
Why This Matters
This initiative reflects what we teach every day:
Leadership means taking action.
​
By investing in solar energy, we are:
-
Reducing our environmental footprint
-
Modeling real-world climate solutions
-
Strengthening our commitment to sustainability
-
Creating campuses that reflect the values we teach
-
Saving money on utilities to redirect towards full scholarships for young people
Participants won’t just talk about global challenges—they’ll see solutions in action.
“It’s not theoretical. Every couple thousand dollars we save is an extra scholarship."
A Living Classroom
At our campuses, sustainability becomes part of the experience.
​
With solar energy in place, participants will:
-
Learn how renewable energy systems work
-
Engage with real-world environmental solutions
-
Be inspired to take action in their own communities
This transforms our campus into a hands-on learning environment.
