World U.P. Foundation Information

We are a Nonprofit Organization based out of Richmond, Virginia. We believe in the importance of cross-cultural understanding, but recognize that the experiences that lead to this understanding are not always easily accessible. We strive to bring these learning experiences to anyone and everyone. Mission To promote peace diversity and universal understanding by providing cultural education and experiences. Philosophy Through cultural exposure and education, a person’s mind grows and thus becomes more flexible to new ideas, foreign cultures, and accepting personal differences without the stigmatization of “the other”. Vision To create a community that offers free quality culturally diverse educational opportunities to everyone, especially communities that face financial hardships. Initiatives As an organization, we have taken on 5 initiatives, to work to fulfill our vision of creating community engagement in cultural understanding: Arts & Music Health & Wellness Communication & Languages Immersion Travel Experiences Community Outreach We plan on rolling out these initiatives between 2016 – 2019 by creating partnerships with existing organizations, organizing philanthropic events that benefit the community and hosting free cultural educational opportunities that will be open for everyone to attend.
