United Planet (UP) is a leading international, educational, humanitarian, and peace-building non-profit organization with members and volunteers in over 150 countries. UP is devoted to fostering cross-cultural understanding and supporting communities in need to unite the world in a community beyond borders. The underlying principle of our programs is the concept of Relational Diplomacy -- recognizing that the relationship between people of diverse backgrounds is the basic building block for uniting the world. United Planet’s innovative programs are designed to expose our common human bonds, generate respect and appreciation for our cultural, racial, and religious diversity, and enrich lives of our neighbors worldwide. What we doUnited Planet offers a diverse range of programs to people of all ages, cultures and experience.
Who we helpUnited Planet exposes people to a world outside of their own. Everyone has the chance to participate and benefit from United Planet’s programs. Through our Quest program, UP supports a large network of schools, NGOs (non-governmental organizations), orphanages, hospitals, health clinics, community development causes, environmental projects and much more. United Planet’s CAP (Cultural Awareness Project) brings multicultural presentations to schools, non-profit groups, associations, and government offices and companies around the world. The VOE (Voices of Earth) online community provides a stimulating and enriching opportunity to interact with people worldwide, transcend barriers, exchange cultures, and examine important global, regional, and country-specific issues. United Planet’s member-oriented activities also provide fun learning opportunities. Volunteers and members can help others, while learning themselves. Through UP Forum, members are teaching each other languages and exchanging ideas on a variety of local and global issues. As the global community starts sharing and caring through UP's innovative programs, we will begin to discover, understand, and appreciate each other's culture, heritage, and daily life and struggles on a deeper and more personal level.
