Why People to People
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.

Students have two ways to travel on a People to People International Travel Program:
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.
National Delegations are for students coming from all over the United States, chaperoned by educators carefully selected by PTP. Joining a National Delegation is a great way to meet students from all over the country.
