Your flowers are blooming, the weather is nice. It's time to invite someone into your home to enjoy it with you. Invite someone from another part of the world! It's easy to do because 100 young people (ages 17 to 29) will arrive on July 11 from 17 different countries.

They all need host families-a place to stay, evening meals and local transportation through August 11. They will be here for orientation for Up with People (UWP), and you can be the first stop in an adventure of a lifetime for one or two of them.

After orientation in Denver, this UWP cast will travel to Breckenridge, then on to five cities in Mexico, eight more U.S. cities, and then finish up in the Philippines. Each city will bring its own special experiences, but yours will always be the beginning!

We'll be hosting again (this is our seventh time!) We wouldn't miss it for the world. The youthful energy and enthusiasm is contagious...and who couldn't use a little more energy and enthusiasm in their life?
