Our International Programs

- Sister Chapter - We are now sister chapter with Ulaannbataar, Mongolia Chapter. We are looking forward to sharing programming, visiting and getting to know them better.

- Meet the Diplomat - The Meet the Diplomats program is an exciting opportunity for diplomats residing in a country other than their own to travel outside their city of assignment and experience local life and culture. Visits include a schedule of meetings with local officials, media, businesses, factories, farms, universities, etc., which are arranged to accommodate the diplomat's professional and personal interest. Accommodations are with a People to People International Chapter and their family.

- International visitors and homestays - The International Visitors Program is a cultural interaction experience in which members of PTPI's worldwide chapters are offered the opportunity to meet members of chapters in other countries and experience their way of life.

PTPI Scottsdale enjoys a long standing relationship with the Milan, Italy chapter. We look forward to hosting more students.

- Humanitarian Outreach Programs - Operation International Children (formerly Operation Iraqi Children) is a grass-roots program founded in early 2004 by actor Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, CSI: NY) and author Laura Hillenbrand (Seabiscuit: An American Legend). Sinise and Hillenbrand created OIC to give concerned Americans a way to reach out to war-stricken Iraqi children and support American troops in their efforts to assist them.
