Dear Friends,

I just received new information on the US Youth Ambassadors Program (see information below from our Dec 1 Global Alert), and wanted to share this with you right away.

The six planned destination countries for summer 2021 are Argentina & Chile; Belize; Brazil; Costa Rica; Ecuador; and Paraguay.

The organizer, World Learning, has established a Priority Deadline of December 10th. Get your application in by then for early consideration. This looks like a great opportunity!


US Youth Ambassadors Program
Program Dates: Summer 2021
Application Deadline: Dec 22, 2020 (Priority Deadline: Dec 10)
The US Youth Ambassadors Program is a 3-week leadership exchange abroad for US teens ages 15-18 and adult mentors, sponsored by the US State Department and administered by World Learning. The program provides full scholarships for students and adult mentors to take part in exchange programs to countries in South America and the Caribbean, focusing on civic engagement, social entrepreneurship, social justice, multiculturalism, and environmental protection.  World Learning is also recruiting adult mentors for these exchanges. Intermediate level Spanish is required for all exchanges, except to Brazil. Program organizers are assessing the COVID-19 situation, and may adapt these in-person exchanges to virtual or hybrid if necessary.
For more information and to apply, click here. Additional questions? Email youthambassadors@worldlearning.org.

If you have questions or wish to pass along other global opportunities to us so that we can share with others, please contact me directly either by email or phone.

Thank you.

Sally
