American Young Ambassadors Program

High School Student Leaders Needed

High school students ages 15 to 18 are invited to apply for The American Young Ambassadors Program, Ltd. (AYAL), a global leadership program that recognizes the significant accomplishments academically, athletically, or through public service efforts of U.S. high school students. The youth selected for this program will represent the United States as Young Ambassadors-at-large at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

The American youth selected for the Young Ambassadors Program will be presented with the President's Volunteer Service Award to wear throughout the games as an indication that their work is acknowledged by the President of the United States of America.

This Olympic forum is an invaluable multi-cultural learning experience for these students.
