Q: What is a Chapter?
A: Chapters are volunteer organizations consisting
of at least 10 people. Chapters are the backbone of People
to People International since they actualize the idea
of increasing international understanding and education
at the local level.
Q:
Who belongs to PTPI Chapters?
A: Students, professionals, families, dignitaries
-- people from all walks of life belong to PTPI Chapters.
Members vary from chapter to chapter, but what they

understanding and friendship through the exchange of
ideas and experiences. Currently the Chapter Network
includes 38 countries.
Q: What do Chapters do?
A: Chapters participate in various programs
including: offering homestays through the International
Visitors Program, organizing community missions
for travel abroad frequently involving homestays by
chapters, introducing international students at local
colleges and universities to local culture and way of
life, sponsoring young international professionals on
a short-term study mission to work with professional
counterparts in the community, working with local teachers
to recruit, screen and perhaps financially sponsor local
high school students participating in PTPI's
Student and Sports Ambassadors Programs,
sponsoring or co-sponsoring local community events whose
purpose is to increase international understanding,
hosting for several days the visit of an international
diplomat through the Meet
the Diplomats Program, participating in the School

Q: What does a Chapter Officer
do?
