There is music for everyone from old Irish Ballads to German Ska. Up With People's purpose is to create a worldwide community through friendship and understanding. This is accomplished through education, community service, performing arts, and international travel.
Education is one of the keys to developing a worldwide community.
Up With People does this several different ways. In every city Up With People students stay with area families. The students become a part of the community and not just a tourist. This is a valuable opportunity for not only the students but also the families. Many families have been able to learn a little about other cultures by hosting Up With People students.
