WANTED – Youth for Canada-US Ambassadors Program!

February 10, 2017 by Brad Trivers Leave a Comment

I received the following email this week asking for applications for a United States-Canada youth exchange.  They are looking for youth participants and adult mentors. There is no cost to apply and all travel expenses are covered by the Youth Ambassadors Program.


Hello,

We thought you might be interested in hearing about the Youth Ambassadors Program with Canada. This is a three-week exchange for Canadian students and adult mentors to visit the United States. The goals are to promote mutual understanding between the United States and Canada, increase leadership skills, and position youth to make a difference in their communities. This summer’s trip will take place from July 17 to August 6th. The group will visit Ottawa, New York State, and Washington, D.C.

There is no cost to apply and all travel expenses are covered by the Youth Ambassadors Program. Applications are competitive.

The deadline for applications is March 30, 2017
