Legacy Programme

While the adults are nurturing old Up with People friendships, our Legacy participants will be developing new international relationships, breaking stereotypes, and building bridges of understanding—sound familiar?

The Legacy Programme has opportunities for ages 7-12, 13-17, and young adults ages 18-20 as of programme date. The programmes are designed to offer the experience of Up with People through modern day application during our Alumni Week and beyond! Wherever your child falls in the age range, we have a space for them in our Legacy Programmes—building a legacy from generation to generation.
