A Proud History
In 1956, the People to People International Foundation was created by President Dwight D. Eisenhower with a mission to enhance international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities involving the exchange of ideas and experiences between people of diverse cultures.
Today, we work to support this important mission through our international student travel programs that include thoughtfully designed cultural activities, rewarding volunteer opportunities, and meaningful connections with new people. Our students build confidence, gain fresh perspectives, and learn what it means to be a global citizen in today’s world.

Why People to People
More Than Sightseeing. We provide high-quality programs, that go beyond just sightseeing. We connect you to local families and dignitaries, and offer you exclusive opportunities to get to know the local culture.
Community Service Hours. You will spend at least one full day giving back to a community while working alongside local peers. You will earn a certificate for at least 10 hours of community service hours.
Leadership Skills. We offer local, outdoor team-building and leadership activities on all of our programs. These activities will help you to discover new strengths and make new friendships.
A Good Night’s Sleep. While other student travel companies have 4 or more students share a hotel room and even share beds, we believe that a good night’s sleep is critical to your overall experience. You are always guaranteed your own bed.
All-Inclusive Tuition. You’ll never need to worry about having to pay more for “optional” excursions, lunches, or even tipping your guides. With People to People, this and much more is included in our all-inclusive tuition.

Students have two ways to travel on a People to People International Student Travel Program:
National Delegations are for students coming from all over the United States, chaperoned by educators carefully selected by People to People. Joining a National Delegation is a great way to meet students from all over the country.
Local Delegations are for students from the same geographic area, chaperoned by educators from that area too. The educators select the programs for their local delegation, so every program may not be offered in your area.
