An estimated 14 million people have seen Up With People during the last 17 years. Millions more have seen the show on television. There are five international casts of Up With People each consisting of 125 students and staff from throughout the world. The 510 young people are selected from 9,000 applicants annually and this year represent 28 countries and 45 states in the United States. The average, age is 21 in an age range of 18 to 25. Although musical talent is an asset, it is not required for acceptance into the program. Maturity, motivation, an interest in the world, ability to communicate and a desire to contribute to society are among the qualities required. Through practical work internships, career skills can be developed in business management, salesand amrketing, personnel in- terviewing and recruiting, show production, performing ' arts, communications and organizational management. Careers are explored through host families and prearranged days with professional people. Credits can be earned from the University of Arizona in Counseling and Drama. Some students are able to design and prearrange in- dependent study programs through their .home colleges and universities. Community performances and visits to schools, hospitals, prisons, centers for the handicapped and homes for the elderly enable the students to experience community needs and develop a desire to serve others. More than 10,000 young men and women from 55 countries have participated in the program since it began in the mid-sixties. They have performed in 48 countries, including the People's Republic of China, Jordan, Venezuela, Zaire, Poland, Yugoslavia and 16 European countries. Up With People was founded by J. Blanton Belk who realized that the idealism and energy then being demonstrated by young people worldwide could find a positive and creative ex- pression. As with other post- secondary educational programs, each Up With People student pays a program fee to help defray expenses of their par- ticipation in the program. Program fees constitute 21 percent of the corporate annual budget. Remaining funds are generated through performance revenue, the sale of show-related products, gifts in kind, and tax deductible contributions. Many students raise a portion of their program fee through local sponsorships and fund raising activities.
