The Youth Ambassadors Program with the Caribbean is a 3-week leadership exchange in the United States for teenagers ages 15-18 and adult mentors from the Caribbean. The program provides full scholarships for participants to take part in cultural-educational programming focused on civic engagement and social entrepreneurship. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the program aims to develop a cadre of young adults throughout the Americas who have a strong sense of civic responsibility, a commitment to their communities, an awareness of current and global issues, and strong interpersonal leadership skills. The program aims to promote mutual understanding, respect, and collaboration between people in the United States and other countries of the Western Hemisphere.
