Families in Renton will have the unique opportunity to bring a bit of the world into their own homes between the 16th and 23rd of September when an international cast of Up with People arrives Auburn a stop on their 2013 world tour.
Host families are being sought to keep one or more students from Cast B 2013, the 100-member Up with People cast and staff which represents 20 countries and more than 25 states. “It is a great opportunity to experience other cultures while sharing your own,” explained Gary Guisset.
The opportunity to stay with local families during their stay in each community is a centerpiece of Up with People’s 22-week program. The giving goes both ways…while families share their traditions and local attractions; the cast members share their experiences and cultures.

Local host families are asked to provide a bed, local transportation at the beginning and end of each day, as well as breakfast and most dinners. While gone during the day, participating in regional learning, community service and show preparation, most evenings cast members will be home with the family to participate in their activities and interests.
In addition to many wonderful experiences with their new “son” or “daughter,” each host family will receive two complimentary tickets to the Up with People Show which will be held at the Auburn Performing Arts Center on the 20th our 21st of September, at 7.30 pm.
