Each year our local Central Oregon Community and State are honored, being represented internationally, by a select group of our Central Oregon Middle School & High School students who are nominated, interviewed and selected to join delegates chosen nationwide to travel abroad and represent our country as Ambassadors with the "People to People Ambassador Programs", founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.
Each year many of our Central Oregon Student Ambassador Delegates and their families hope to raise their delegate tuitions (about $6,000 each). This is an extremely challenging goal - and they rely on the generosity, caring and support of our local Central Oregon community, family, friends, hard work & faith, in hopes of meeting this goal.
In addition to fundraising activities, our Ambassador Delegates (our Central Oregon youth) also participate in community service and humanitarian service activities & events. Many hours of time and effort are required of all the delegates. The lessons they learn during this process are as valuable as the experiences they will have while traveling abroad.
For more information on the People to People Ambassador Programs, visit the official People to People website.
Our sincerest "Thanks!" to all of our Central Oregon Student Ambassador Sponsors who have contributed and supported our Central Oregon Student Ambassador Delegations!
Student Ambassador rewards will last a lifetime!
Students describe how they:
- Return home with added confidence and self-esteem.
- Make lasting friendships with students from their local delegation and destinations around the world.
- Come back with a broader, more enlightened perspective of the world that helps them more truly appreciate the privileges of living in the United States.
- Gain important advantages for college admissions because their People to People experiences lead to compelling college essays and interviews that stand out from all the rest.
