Our Mission:
Up with People exists today to inspire young people to make a difference in their world.
2016 Up with People Annual Report Greetings from Up with People! We are excited to share with you what we accomplished during our 2016 fiscal year. As you take the journey through our year in review, 100 young adults from more than 17 countries such as Nepal, Somalia, Bermuda, Germany, China, and Brazil are preparing to join Cast A 2017. We are launching another eXperience program this April, and are looking ahead to expand our world tour to new places. We are ready to usher Up with People into its next half century of spreading hope and tolerance around the world. Today – just as when we began in 1965 – we live in a deeply fearful and splintered world. Together, we can ensure that today’s generation can add their voices to help build a more hopeful, trusting, and peaceful world for the future. It’s never been needed more.
