People to People is committed to providing the best possible program for our Student Ambassadors.
The tuition for every Student Ambassador program includes the benefits outlined here.
Orientation Meetings The educational component of the People to People Ambassador Program begins long before travel. Orientation meetings led by delegation leaders help meet the educational goals of the program and prepare students and parents for travel.* Students learn about the geography, history, government, and culture of the places they will visit. They also develop civic awareness, citizenship, communication, and other skills to prepare them to be People to People Ambassadors. Parents will learn more about our health and safety policies, educational content, and travel details, and have the opportunity to ask any other questions they have about the journey.*Students traveling on national delegations will work with leaders to complete pre-travel preparation online. Pre-Travel Web-Based Learning People to People's interactive online learning modules promote global awareness by teaching students about their destination. Designed to enhance orientation meeting educational activities, web-based sessions also meet academic credit requirements for students in grades 9-12.Travel Journal Delegates on a student program also receive a travel journal in which they document their learning by reflecting on their daily global-classroom experience. Delegation leaders will guide required journaling activities throughout the program.Educational Activities Students explore many aspects of their destinations through official meetings, school visits, museum excursions, embassy visits, cultural site visits, and environmental field studies with local experts. Many programs include home stay experiences with local families or group housing to further an authentic understanding of the local people and culture. Student-athletes traveling on a sports program also experience hands-on exposure to international coaching, practice, and competition and work with experienced coaches from across the United States on sport-specific technical and tactical skills.Unique Access People to People Ambassadors are granted access to significant people and venues not available to the typical tourist. Activities are designed to allow students to share insights and discussion with key professionals, dignitaries, government experts, and students from the hosting sites.Service Projects Ambassadors further internalize the mission of People to People by participating in a meaningful, localized service project while on the program. These projects help confirm the power and progress that occurs when people combine forces in positive ways.Academic Credit A variety of academic credit options are available to our program participants.Student Programs - Ambassadors in grades 9-12 are eligible to earn one elective high school semester credit from the Washington School of World Studies through their active participation in the program.
