124 students applied to become participants in the 2012/2013 Young Ambassadors Program, and through an application and interview process, 21 motivated and engaged high school students have been selected as “Young Ambassaodrs”. Between Octobe and May they will take part in a seminar series which focuses on various issues such as educational planning, business, politics, culture 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 throughout the year, and encourage the participants to attain their full potential.
The 2012/2013 program also has a social component in order to support the Young Ambassadors in developing a fruitful network for the future.
