I recently searched “People to People” on Google and it came up with 2 main organizations: People to People International and People to People. What is the difference between these 2 organizations? Thanks for any answers:)
What’s The Difference Between People To People And People To People International?

People to People International (PTPI), with World Headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri USA, was established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on September 11, 1956 to enhance international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities involving the exchange of ideas and experiences directly among peoples of different countries and diverse cultures. Today, as a NGO with a U.S., not-for-profit, [501 (c)(3)] tax rating, PTPI has a presence in 135 countries with more than 80,000 families and individuals actively participating in People to People International humanitarian and educational programs as well as local chapter efforts. Please visit http://www.ptpi.org for more information.
People to People Ambassador Programs serve as the exclusive educational travel provider of People to People International (PTPI), the nonprofit, Kansas City-based organization founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding worldwide. PTPI and Ambassadors Group are united in their mission of bridging cultural and political borders through education and exchange. The Ambassador Programs have provided more than 400,000 citizens of the world the opportunity to promote Peace through Understanding.
The Ambassador Programs include Citizen, Student, Sports and Leadership to promote international and domestic programs for professionals, students, athletes, and the leaders of tomorrow.
I think the only difference is that one works on an international scale and the other doesn’t.
One is in the USA, and the other is outside of the US, like an exchange program.
