Up With People - Host Families Needed
Up with People is returning to Denver and is searching for people that are willing to open their homes to host one or more of their international cast members. Hosting opportunities are from July 27th(with some staff members arriving earlier on July 16th and July18th) throughAugust 26th. There is also the option to host for just the first two week or last two weeks. It is a convenient and fun way to learn about different cultures without leaving your own home - all you do is provide the young person(s) with a place to sleep, breakfast and dinner, transportation in the mornings around 8 am and in the evenings around 6 pm most days. We will be offering a regional shuttle service to transport students to and from daily activities. Tentative shuttle stops for this upcoming Staging may include Boulder, Broomfield, Longmont, Thornton, downtown Denver, Aurora, Parker, and Highlands Ranch.The cast is beginning their world tour here in Denver; they will spend most days learning their new show, learning how to spread the mission of Up with People, and getting to know their fellow cast members!
If you are interested in being a host family or would like more information please contact Kelli Rountree at 520.370.1198 or krountree@upwithpeople.org. For more information about Up with People please visit our website at http://www.upwithpeople.org
