AMBASSADOR WAYNE ANNOUNCES YOUTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAM FOR 2008
November 13, 2007
Ambassador Wayne launched the second edition of the Youth Ambassadors Program, an initiative of the U.S. Embassy in Argentina, in collaboration with the Fulbright Commission, Partners of the Americas, the Argentine Ministry of Education, and public and private organizations in both countries. This year, the U.S. Embassy is doubling the number of secondary school students who will travel to the United States for two weeks beginning in February. Ambassador Wayne announced the program at a press conference on November 13. The Ambassador was accompanied by Mr. Pablo Urquiza, General Coordinator of the Office for International Cooperation of the Ministry of Education. The Youth Ambassadors Program is designed to send 10 outstanding public secondary school students to the United States to learn about U.S. society and culture and to share Argentina’s culture with Americans. The students will travel first to Washington, D.C., where they will meet high-level government officials, and then they will continue on to Montana to live with host families and attend school.
