The Youth Ambassadors Program with Algeria brings together Algerian and American high school students and adult mentors to promote mutual understanding, increase leadership skills, and prepare youth to make a difference in their communities. Through pre-travel virtual content and in-person exchange, Youth Ambassadors will engage in experiential learning activities; leadership training; civic participation at the community level; mentoring by local community leaders; volunteering; and engagement with local host families. The program takes place entirely in the United States – in Washington, DC; Lake Tahoe, NV; and in various cities where students do homestays. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents, age 15-18 at the start of the exchange.
