Hopi

During the Up with People program, participants travel in international casts of nearly 100 people to cities on a multi-continent tour, experiencing the cultural sights, sounds, and tastes of each community. From blending in with the locals to acting like tourists – they learn to explore and explore to learn. As students of the world, through community service, regional learning and living with host families, participants discover what makes each part of the world unique. The experience has a positive impact on the community and for the sponsors of the visit while the Up with People cast members discover their capabilities and prepares them for their roles and responsibilities as global citizens

Up with People was founded on the principle of using music as a means to communicate with and inspire people. In each city the cast visits, participants perform in a vibrant and moving musical stage show that brings the community together, highlighting local partnering organizations and sparking people to action in meeting the needs of their communities, countries and the world.

Host families are a key component of the Up with People experience. Since 1965, more than 450,000 families in 38 countries have hosted Up with People participants. They open their homes and their hearts to young people from around the world. They are unfailingly warm and welcoming; they have made the Up with People program an unparalleled experience.

Host families give participants an insider's perspective on the community they're visiting, its culture, language and customs. In turn, host families benefit by gaining insight into the participants' home countries.

Host Family Responsibilities

While the cast is in the community, you are asked to provide: a bed, breakfast, dinner and limited transportation. Cast members are out in the community during most business hours. Generally, one day during the week's visit is reserved for host families and their participants to spend time together, see the sights and enjoy local events.

Not surprisingly, many of the relationships that develop between host families and Up with People participants last for years, even lifetimes. By the end of the stay, many host families find they've acquired an "adopted" child; participants feel as if they've gained a new set of parents.
