Since 1965: · 22,000 participants from 138 countries · 14,000 visits to communities in 72 countries · 3 million volunteer service hours · 800,000 host families · 300,000 youth engaged in the last 5 years Intentional community, creativity & the arts, and determined optimism are at the heart of UWP. Young people can do incredible things when we act together, get creative, and remain unapologetically hopeful. These elements set UWP apart in the crowded field of Positive Youth Development. They permeate everything we do. Since pausing our programs in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve been reflecting, reimagining, and designing Up with People for the future. We’ll be back soon with exciting new programs as we continue to work towards our vision of an inclusive and sustainable world where people are equal in dignity and rights.
