A Presidential Tradition

President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded People to People during his administration, and eight U.S. presidents have since served as honorary chairman.

People to People Student Ambassadors travel overseas for two to three weeks during the summer to learn, share, and represent their communities and schools.

From the Great Barrier Reef to South Africa’s Cape, Student Ambassadors experience unparalleled opportunities for personal growth through an enriching program of educational and cultural interaction. By becoming a Student Ambassador, participants gain an appreciation for the world in which they live, build their self-confidence, enrich their education through learning in the global classroom, and develop increased levels of maturity and independence.

Student Ambassador delegations of 30–40 students are led by experienced educators during this dynamic and exciting program. These delegation leaders guide students in preparing for the program during orientation meetings focusing on travel tips, the culture of the destination, bonding as a group, and much more.

The People to People Student Ambassador Program provides students a world of international opportunities. We offer educational journeys that are both fun and rewarding.
