What is People to People International (PTPI)?
People to People International (PTPI) is an international organization that is enhancing international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities involving the exchange of ideas and experiences directly among peoples of different countries and diverse cultures.
PTPI is dedicated to enhancing cross-cultural communication within each community, and across communities and nations. Tolerance and mutual understanding are central themes. While not a partisan or political institution, PTPI supports the basic values and goals of its founder, President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Save the date for 2012 Global Youth Service Day!
April 20 - 22, 2012
Last year, PTPI members led an impressive 96 Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) projects in 31 countries. From organizing environmental cleanups to raising money and collecting supplies for orphanages, PTPI members demonstrated their commitment to service – and to the world. This year, Global Youth Service Day will take place April 20-22 in more than 100 countries. The annual GYSD event presents a unique opportunity for PTPI members of all ages to engage youth in improving their communities during the largest service event in the world, and the only day of service dedicated to children and youth. How will YOU engage youth and serve to make difference on Global Youth Service Day?
