New ICYE - United Planet USA Partnership for worldwide volunteering

The ICYE Federation and United Planet (UP), an international Boston-based non-profit organization dedicated to broadening mutual understanding, friendship, and peace among cultures, have recently formed a partnership to re-establish ICYE's program in the United States. Under this partnership, United Planet in Boston, USA will both send and receive enthusiastic and committed exchangees within the ICYE Federation as a partner starting in January 2005.

As featured on CNN, United Planet provides a diverse and creative range of community-based, online, and international programs to achieve global understanding. Initiated in 2000 United Planet has expanded its membership and volunteer base to over 100 countries in less than 4 years. The response to the quality and diversity of UP's programs has been very favourable both in the US and abroad!
