Up with People Needs Enid Host Families
The multi-cultural organization, Up with People, a global education program for young adults, is coming to Enid. While giving to communities through its community impact activities and shows, the program also addresses the real need to help young adults gain a global perspective, intercultural understanding, knowledge of worldwide issues, leadership skills and a sense of social responsibility.
The cast members live with local families wherever they travel as part of the cultural immersion for which the group is known. For their stay in Enid, Up with People needs families that are able to provide a bed, meals and limited transportation for their four-day stay.
The participants, who come from 27 different countries, will be involved in community impact projects and service learning during their visit.
The cast of young people will also be performing the "Up with People Show", a community celebration that features original and international songs and uses the universal languages of music and dance to inspire, energize and educate.
Their visit is made possible by the following sponsors: Enid Realty Group, PT Coupling, Continental Resources and Ward Petroleum Corporation & INTEGRIS Bass Baptist Health Center. All proceeds from the Up with People show will go directly to Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse & Adventure Quest.
WHEN: Up with People will be in Enid from March 13 to March 17. The show will be on March 14 at The Briggs Auditorium at Northern Oklahoma College starting at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 for students/seniors and $15 general admission.
HOW: If you're interested in becoming a host family or for more information, please contact Ryan Watterson at 262-442-6721 or rwatterson@upwithpeople.org
WHY: Up with People provides young adults an international and intercultural experience that teaches servant leadership and uses the performing arts to deliver messages of hope and goodwill throughout the world. Up with People exists today to spark people to action in meeting the needs of their communities, countries and the world while building bridges of understanding as a foundation for world peace.
