Our People To People roots started as US President, Dwight D. Eisenhower realized that world peace and international collaboration could not be accomplished by governments alone but by the “understanding and mutual respect between individuals”.
He envisioned a world in which people saw first what they had in common, not what made them different. To support this vision, he created People To People organization on September 11, 1956 as a NGO, not-for-profit to facilitate global interaction and advance international understanding and friendship, tolerance and world peace between people of all nations through direct people-to-people contacts.
Today, Eisenhower’s vision lives in People To People Chapters Network and its programs. No matter where you venture within PTP programs, the result is clear: “People bridging political and cultural differences and bringing home a new sense of cooperation”.
As a not-for-profit [501 (c)(3)] organization, PTPI continues to enhance the foundation of our organization with educational, cultural and humanitarian programming for youth and adults worldwide. PTPI has a presence in 135 countries with more than 80,000 families and individuals actively participating in PTP programs.
Since Eisenhower, nine US Presidents have supported the vision of the global People to People International by serving as its Honorary Chairman including President George W. Bush. Today, President Eisenhower’s granddaughter Mary Eisenhower serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of People To People International.
