I wasn't thinking of People to People so much--that pretty much markets itself as a travel program, and it seems to be a great way to introduce international travel to high schoolers who otherwise wouldn't leave the country. I'm a major proponent of study abroad. Considering only about 20% of Americans hold a passport, anything is progress.
