People to People student ambassador programs?
People to People student ambassador programs?
hi, i was just wondering if anyone has every had any experiences with this program which takes students between grades 5-12 on trips around the world. i have just gotten a letter where i have been chosen to travel in the netherlands, belgium, france, englians, wales, and ireland over the summer of 2010. i am really interested in going, but my mother needs a little bit more convincing. i am 15. last summer i took a trip without them to europe and i traveled to germany, poland, and france. this was without any programs. i just went, met up with some people there, and visited the countires for a total of 25 days. this program is on average 3 weeks longs. i was hoping for some stories of people's experiences in this program to help convince my mother.

Well the best help I can tell you is that my sister got this too, she is currently in the 11th grade and I think taht it's a kind of difficult process to go thorugh, Im not sure

i got the letter too but it is way to overpriced and one person died on one of their previous trips

The program is very reliable. I too got the letter and i did go to one of the meetings and i loved the presentations they gave. They also had students who traveled with them in previous years to share what they learned and what they liked about there trip. If you really want to convince your mother, People to People also has a Youtube account where you can see videos from trips. I haven't gone on a trip with them but im going in 2011 and i feel very comfortable going alone without my Mom.
