Richie Conaway, Natick High School Graduate Class of 2013, will depart in July for a year abroad in the Up With People program. Richie was selected to be a cast member and tour with the international group for a year of global education.
Up With People was formed in 1965 as a positive voice for young people. Today, it strives to spark people into action in meeting the needs of their communities, countries, and the world while building greater understanding and connection.
Richie, a vocalist and lover of music, will travel with other young adults from around the globe. Together they will impact thousands of audience members and volunteer in communities throughout the world.
