Turning Hope Into Action
Welcome to the Up with People Foundation, the next chapter of a story that has inspired generations.

What began as a global movement connecting people through music and service has evolved into a foundation that supports projects that unite communities, inspire service, and foster global citizenship, turning hope into action and belief into positive change.

Though the traveling casts no longer tour the world, the spirit of Up with People continues to shine through local initiatives, volunteer efforts, and music that carries hope forward.

We’re glad you’re here. Welcome to the next chapter!
