Student and University Chapters Chapters are the backbone of People to People International, bringing the ideas of international understanding and education to life at a local level. Student Chapters focus on cultural education, current world issues, and humanitarian and service efforts. As part of PTPI’s international chapter network, they have the opportunity to connect with peers and adults around the world. Chapter projects include various initiatives from PTPI World Headquarters. At the same time, Student Chapters have the flexibility to develop their own programs and projects according to their interests and means. PTPI helps with ideas for fundraising and gives out matching grants for special projects. University chapters strive to work in conjunction with university curriculum to provide members with a "global education". A "global education" is the set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that prepare individuals to live and compete in an increasingly multicultural, interconnected, and fast changing global society. How do I form a PTPI Student or University Chapter? It’s easy! Grab 10 friends and an adult/campus advisor, complete a simple application and your group will be ready to make a difference! For more information go to our "how to start a chapter" section. |
