Belleville Sister Cities, Inc.
Paderborn, Germany, became Belleville's Sister City in 1990. The aim of this organization is to encourage travel and communication between the two countries in order to strengthen cross-cultural relationships. It sponsors a summer youth program with financial assistance for young adults between the ages of 16 and 19. To support this program, Belleville Sister Cities participates in various festivals and sponsors "A Taste of Germany" each fall.
