PTPI Student Chapters: How it all began!
PTPI’s Student Chapter Program was created in 2001 and today Student Chapters
are actively bringing PTPI’s mission of Peace through Understanding to their
communities. Hundreds of Community, University and Student PTPI Chapters exist throughout
Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the USA and are located
in more than 50 countries. Student Chapters are a natural extension of PTPI founder
President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s vision of enhancing cross-cultural communication
within each community, and across communities and nations.
What are chapters?
Chapters are at the heart of PTPI, increasing international understanding and education in local and global communities. Student Chapters are made up of students ages 13-18, who meet regularly and take part in exciting, inspiring community projects and events. Student chapter members also connect through online and physical exchanges through the program’s extensive network of chapters worldwide, building long-lasting, peaceful relationships between people of different countries and cultures.

“It’s all about leaving the world one person better than when you came into it. PTPI provides this amazing avenue through which to channel young minds to do just that.” –Simi Bakshi, Adult Advisor of PTPI’s Princeton, New Jersey Student Chapter
