It's definitely worth it. I've answered a lot of questions about the People to People program recently, so just search for them, and you can read my responses. It doesn't make sense to keep repeating my answers, but they have programs for even 8th grade. They actually have programs from 5th-6th grade, all the way up to 12th grade, in high school. It is safe, and an experience that is worthwhile. You can even use your experiences as one thing you did while in high school, for your college application personal statement, as I did. You get a homestay for 2-4 nights, and can also get high school credit. But only some high schools actually award the credit. I knew a lot of people who got credit, but my high school did not allow it. So it depends on your counselor and school district. I know that there are a lot of bad things people say about the program, but it's usually about the cost and not the actual program itself. So you should look at that observation too. Or about the safety, or that it's just a travel agency trying to get money from kids. I don't think it's that. There are usually 4 adults who travel with all the students, who are all teachers, counselors, or people associated with schools and education. They can also people who you can get recommendation letters later too, if that is an interest you want. All in all, the program is definitely worth it, even if it costs a lot. If you think about the cost if you went by yourself, you'd spend twice or three times as much, so I think the cost is fair. Good luck on your choice.
