Common Concerns

What if an emergency occurs with my child?

Our staff is highly experienced in working with our local coordinators to handle emergencies. In addition to the medical and accident insurance included in the program, we maintain 24-hour staff coverage in our program office during the summer months so that we can notify parents immediately about any emergency that might arise. For an additional level of safety, each of our delegation leaders is required to maintain current CPR certification.

The Student Ambassador journey begins long before departure.

You and your child will attend six two-hour orientation meetings to prepare during the months before the delegation embarks on the Student Ambassador journey.

In addition to learning the details of the journey and the destination, your family will meet fellow delegates and their families. You will get to know your area delegation leaders and observe how they supervise the delegates. For many Student Ambassadors, lifelong friendships begin at the very first meeting.

Count on these informative, interactive orientation meetings to help you:

• Learn about the culture and history of your child's destination
  
• Find out just what to pack
  
• Review all air and land travel details
  
• Answer any other questions you or your child may have about the journey
  
• Meet delegation leaders and see them in action
