The Nomination Process

Why has my child been invited to become a Student Ambassador?

Once a year, People to People Ambassador Programs invites a number of students to journey as Student Ambassadors.

We learn about many of these students through recommendations from teachers, school administrators and Student Ambassador alumni. We find out about others through national academic listings — the same listings that top colleges and universities use to find their applicants.

Students who are selected to serve as Student Ambassadors participate as a member of a 40-student delegation from their local region of the United States. Age-specific area delegations are formed for fifth and sixth grade students, middle school students and high school students.

Each student delegation is led by a dedicated team of educators from the local area. Every delegation leader has undergone a rigorous screening process in order to qualify to supervise our Student Ambassadors. Many of our delegation leaders have been part of the program for years, leading delegations around the globe summer after summer.

If your child is interested in becoming a Student Ambassador, you and your family are encouraged to attend an information meeting in your area to learn about important application details for your child's local delegation.

At this one-hour session, you will:

• Hear all about the programs being offered

• Meet alumni and their families

• Learn tuition details

• Find answers to all of your questions

Invite a friend or family member to become a part of the Student Ambassador community.

Many students wish to travel with close friends in order to feel more comfortable. If you or your child would like to recommend any friends from your child's grade for the program, we invite you to nominate them online.

It is important that you nominate any fellow students as soon as possible because we have a limited number of seats available at our information meetings and a limited number of Student Ambassador positions available.
