I just received the news that People to People will complete one final season for our students. My heart is full knowing these kids get the chance they deserve to explore the world. Thank you for believing in this mission when it felt like the doors were closing for good.

People to People Student Travel, an organization that has been running for over fifty years now has announced they will be closing down due to not having enough income. People to People has provided students the oppertunity to travel the world and gather oppertunitys that would not be available if not for the organization. This petition is to keep them open, if not for another year so kids who have wanted to go on the trip can have one last chance before they close for good. So sign this petition and get other people to as well. For a one last attempt at letting students travel the world and see amazing things with an amazing organization.

Seeing these names stack up brings me right back to the transformative experience my own brother had with this program. We are almost at the two hundred fifty mark so please send this link to your inner circle right now to get us over the hump.

Seeing the count climb toward one hundred reminds me of my own trip that changed my life forever. I need you to push this link out to your circles right now to help us clear this goal before the board makes their final decision.

I went in two trips with people to people and it changed my entire life. I went from being the shy outcast before the trips and after the trips I am an out going woman. Others should have this chance too. Please keep it going!

My son has ADHD and this program gave him a second chance to shine with a medical condition. He came back from his first trip with p2p a completely different person. It has broke his heart that this program is ending.

As an Alumni, I know this trip does wonders for the people who travel with the group. It teaches us new skills and knowledge that make a difference when we come back. Keep this program going to teach the next generation about the world's cultures and their people.

We have sent 3 of our 4 boys on People to People trips. They thoroughly enjoyed them & came back with great memories & a better appreciation of the world. We planned to send our youngest son next year and hope you will reconsider your decision.

Rita Jarnagin United States My grandson has already put money towards this trip for the year 2016, he was so excited for this trip something he's been looking forward to, I think the least you can do is to offer it for one more year so all those who have signed up can live their dream.

People to People has changed the lives of students and teachers across the country. Please don't let President Eisenhower's dream be snuffed out and please continue to give our students the opportunity to become global citizens through life changing travel experiences.

The trip I took with People to People was one of the best things I have ever done. I made so many great friends that I still talk to and it opened me up to new cultures and gave me experiences I will never forget. I love People to People and we shouldn't keep further generations from experiencing the amazing things I and so many others already have!

Please stay open, I went a year ago and I am still reaping the benefits of my experience with P2P. I was even planning on going to a leadership summit next year. Please stay open!!!
