  • im i 6th grade and i got the letter to go to england an france how much do you think it willcost and after i get the letter do i for sure go

  • i got this letter but im not sure if this is a safe trip or not

  • @TheSnugglebear23 dude thats not right if u dont want to go. before you even begin planning on leaving, make sure that you want to go 600%.. like it would suck if u got there and u wanted to go home

  • I'm going to try to make it in for that exact one. I really want to go and I will do anything to get in. For the one in 2012!

  • Love the words used, really big hard core program. If you start to research who they are you will find Ambassador Internation and Ambassador Group (for Profit Parent companies) They also just settled a lawsuit from a Death of someone that took a trip through People to People. Stated in their program, There goal is to allow as many student as possible to participate. They use Student Listing companies and other sources to obtain candidates. Many are not selected as an ambassador to go.

  • People to people is an over glorified vacation program.lol People get sucked into thinking it's some big honor no it's a vacation. over priced but still a vacation.

  • I just got back from Canada

  • IM GOING TO ENGLAND FRANCE AND ITALY!!!!!! I need to get $7,000 O_O oh crap thats a lot! but I still can't WAIT XD!!

  • @animegirl72837 same but dats wayy too expensive,.the price iis the only thing holding me back

  • @colorbubble14 Did you know there was a death on the people to people trips? And that they mainly find their students through mailing lists. Plus it wasn't founded by Dwight Eisenhower.

  • im going this summer and my trip is $6,500 plus $345 for the insurance but im going and im excited about it

  • im going this summer and my trip is $6,500 plus $345 for the insurance but im going and im excited about

  • i keep hearing that it is a scam, bcuz my dad got an email from an ex-worker, and she said that it wasn't worth the 6,500. Is that true? Cuz I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and I have a chance to go this summer.

  • Okay i would really like to know this, um i didnt get a letter but i reserved my seat for the very first information meeting in january, i have not applied yet becuase i dont know enough about the program, also as of now i have no money, so since the meeting is next month would it be too late to apply after the meeting? I just wanna get all the info before i sign up, i know theres a whole selection and interveiw proccess involved but thats all i know.

  • i just got a letter saying there was a meeting in jan. and we are very skeptical if it is real and stuff and no where can we find how much it cost and how safe it is and stuff can you help me with some of my questions :) i would appreciated it

  • I'm getting the wonderful chance to go to the UK with People to People. :) I think that you're so lucky for where you got to go, but I am lucky for where I am going. I know many people who would love to go. I've always, always, always loved England and I've always, always, always wanted to go there. It'll be exciting. <3 I kind of hope my homestay is with a family in Wales, not too sure why. :)

  • @CullenVampires101 The prices vary. I used to have the packet with the prices, but it's not with me at the moment. It's about $5 000.

  • how much money did you raise? and was it enough

  • Can someone help me?

    I recieved a letter saying I have an opportunity to go to Japan (I've always wanted to see Japan) from people to people,

    And I went online to check it out but I can't find any details like, how long is the trip? or what would we be doing?

    All I found were completely mixed reviews and some whiny complaints...

    I want to know more.

  • @KleptoCosplayer the trip is prob 20 days most are, you will be doing a lot of things, going to museums, going on tours, staying with a family from that country. its an amazing trip. If you want to know more go to the information meeting on your letter you will learn alot

  • @KleptoCosplayer

    The trip is actually for 14 days, and you can look up the trip by going to the People website and looking in the Student Programs section. Select the Land of the Rising Sun trip, and you can get all of the information on it there.

  • Comment removed

  • @garciamarisol1 well you got invited to go to a meeting to become a part of the program, just because you are invited does not mean that you are in right away! you need to go to the meeting and then get your application and set up an interview time. Your recommended by a teacher or a friend thats how you get invited to join the program

  • @snowmansnow11 no you do an interview and application to get it but you do need to pay for the trip

  • @FoxkRyan most are around6,500

  • @seth516 yes you do have to pay for the trip

  • @seth516 its my first time too!! i got it today. i am going to china but what is it about?

  • In their website it says you can apply for different destinations. Have you ever tried doing that? I wonder what happens after you apply because i got a letter saying that i have been invited to study and travel in Australia but all my life i have really wanted to visit Europe!!!! =][=

    Thanx! =D

  • @paolajm12 yeah i think you can try to change your trip

  • Do you know a girl named taylor from alabama and a lady named linda lochliher she is my delegation leader and if I am right then you guys would have been there when the bomb was placed in that building and u guys were not able to go any where

  • @Thetwilightfan41 no i dont know who that is

  • i am going to Europe in the summer of 2011 i cant wait

  • I`m going to the same places as you are! Mine is in the summer of 2011. I have a question,when will you get the passports will you get them in the meetings or the interview?

    Thank You!!! :D

  • @xxx3DGlassesroxxx Awesome your ganna have a great time!

    and you need to go get the passport yourself you need to apply to get one and then go and take a picture and all, you can look up more info on it but the P2P program does not provide you with a passport. Also know it can take up to 3 months to fully process so look into it now!

  • woahh!! thats awesome i'm actually pretty jealous right now!! I've want to go to india so bad!!

    and no i'm a senior in High School

  • Well, I don't think you would have been much of that, if you had to pay tuition fee for an american college, being an indian.

    I mean converting indian rupee to american dollars. But , going to india is not much of a big deal for you, I guess.

  • i was invited to go to london today lol

  • ahhh i love london its amazing!!

  • Dang you guys are going to france i am going to England, Wales, Ireland and North Ireland :)

  • what thats awsome!! England is so pretty so is Ireland (Irish woooo!!!)

  • i got a email about that 2 but im goin 2 the Netherlands and Belgium(if i go again)

  • what are the projects you have to do...you just hand in paper work to a leader..?

  • kinda like that, we had to do like a presentation on a topic about one of the countries you go to, like i did about being green in germany. others did like famous movies, and like food and stuff.

  • I got an invite to go for the summer of 2010 to England, France, and Italy.

  • woo hooo!!!

  • i probally won't have enough money. can u do a fundraiser???

  • yeahh you can fundraise you can try sending out letters asking for help and stuff, that is how one girl on my trip raised her money!

  • your videos help me alot. i was invited to go in 2010 to austria, italy, france, and switzerland. i am twelve and my parents dont trust me going along by myself to another continent. what should i do to change their minds.

  • well maybe by that time your going to be 13, to be honest i am kinda suprised that they would send a pre-teen to another continent i was 16 when i went on my trip.

    but you can talk to them tell them how safe the trip is and how you will be with kids your age with adults the whole time and how much you will grow and learn from this trip!!

  • i went 2 China and im 12 lol

  • im 12 and i went 2 China and my mom did NOT want me 2 go but i guess she felt it was good 4 me which it is..academics wise and it totally tests ur responsibility...

  • ...woah really 12!!! wow!! thats awesome!!

    the trip really does help with your confidence and your independence!!!

  • definitely!!i totally loved it...

  • i was supossed to go to one :(

  • Okay I know I've seen this video several times but I gotta ask... in about a week I'm leaving for my trip and my parents EXPECT me to call home the minute I have spare time. On here, you said your parents didn't expect you to call at all. Why is that? Seriously, I REALLY don't want to call home AT ALL and I wanna convince my parents otherwise.

  • well my parent didnt expect me to call cause they said i would be having to much fun and would be to busy, but i called like 4 times and through the power of texting i got to talk to them a bit more! honestly if you dont wanna call dont call, but you should call at least once or twice to make sure they know your okay! other than that try texting them or say your to busy lol!!

  • That is awesome. i'm leaving to go to australia next saturday and it is sorta a sweet 16 thing also. next year i'm going to try to go to either Spain, Japan, or like the program you went on. But to do that I would have to earn most of the money myself (which would mean that i would have to get a job) which would be hard with band and college dual credit classes at my high school. But i love to travel so if i could it would probably be worth it. ^_^

  • thats awesome!!

    yeahh it is totally worth it!

  • ya im going to italy france and greece for 21 days

  • i got chosen to go to china this summer but it costs too much money right now, But i hope that i will get chosen again for next year and fundraise and maybe have my grandparents help just liek youo did

  • yeah like if you start fundraising now and saving now you will have enough by than!

  • no offense but that room is sort of messy

  • yeah i'm aware.

  • How did you afford the trip? The Washington Trip is 2,000. How would I be able to afford that? How to make the money? D: Umm... I looked on the website and saw the dates for trip. Can you pick your date?

  • Well for my trip it was my sweet 16 present so instead of having a party i went on the trip but my grandma help pay for it and stuff. You can try fundraising, ask for help from friends and family. No you cant pick your date, there is normally more than one group going at a time so thats why they have diffrent dates

  • It is really quite easy to raise money for the trips. Some things you could do is like a candy fundraiser or if you have a job put aside some money from your paychecks

  • OMG THIS WAS MY SWEET 16 PRESENT TOO!!! they were like do u want a party or do u want to travel. and traveling for 19 days is so much more memorable than a party

  • Your Doggie and 1:42 So laid back what a Gangster!

  • hahahah yeah i love him!!

  • england*

    haha oops.

  • okay this probably sounds really dumb,

    but i was invited to go to europe, italy, and france this summer. and i got the letter for the information meeting today,

    but i have no idea about the trip at all.

    like, i have no clue about how much it costs or the dates or anything. ive looked through the website but i cant seem to find anything.

    i feel like ive already missed my opportunity.

    do you know what the information is for exactly?

    itd be a big help :].

  • well they mostly tell you at your information meeting, ther than that it should be on the website but if its not than wait till your meeting and see

  • yeah im going to Austria to play soccer in the people to people program

  • what kinda of projects did you have to do?

  • i just had to do a simple presentation about one of the contries i was going to, we had to pick a topic like food or religion and then do a small report on that. Was not difficult at all, and not all groups has to do it so you might not have to.

  • im going to England,France,and Italy summer 2009. just want to know did you have to pay

  • yes you do

  • Yes, I got one, but i don't think my parents are allowing me to go. :(

    I've gotten 3 or 4 in the past, and they NEVER let me go!

    I REALLY LIKE Australia, and I would LOVE to go, but I don't think I can convince my parents to let me go 17 days to another country.

    :(

  • yeah it is hard for some parents to let there children go to another country alone but, you should still try to get them to check the program out you are always with someone, its not like you go unprotected! Just try to get them to check it out. Go to the website or to the meeting you can get alot of information from them
