YOUTH AMBASSADORS PROGRAM

The Youth Ambassadors Program, an initiative of the U.S. Embassy in Argentina, in partnership with the Fulbright Commission, Partners of the Americas, and public and private organizations in both countries, is designed to send outstanding Argentine secondary school students to the United States for two weeks to learn about U.S. society and culture and to share Argentina’s culture with people in the United States.

Through this exchange program, the Youth Ambassadors will strengthen ties of friendship, improve their English, and also acquire new ideas for community service.

What does it mean to be a Youth Ambassador?

The Youth Ambassadors program represents a unique opportunity for Latin American  youth, but also comes with a responsibility. As a Youth Ambassador, participants are selected from among hundreds of applicants to represent their country in the United States. They will have the opportunity to talk about their country and share information with others. They will also have the opportunity to learn from youth in the United States.  They will be a representative of their countries. And they will have new skills and resources that they can use to make their community a better place when they return.
