Young Ambassadors Program 2011/2012

105 students applied to the 2011/2012 Young Ambassadors Leadership Program, and through an application and interview process, 20 motivated and engaged high school students have been selected to participate. Between October and May they will take part in a seminar series which focuses on various issues such as educational planning, business, politics and entrepreneurship. The seminars are hosted by well-known institutions and organizations, and experts within the various fields will speak and discuss leadership issues with the Young Ambassadors.

In addition, all the participants have been matched up with their own mentor who will offer valuable experience and guidance, and encourage the participants to attain their full potential.

The 2011/2012 program also has a social component in order to support the participants in developing a fruitful network for the future.
