Gr 6-11 Become an Ambassador for the United States

The Ambassador Program offers two semester-long projects for elementary, middle school and high school students.
The Research Project

Students on both sides of the ocean will meet regularly to compare research conducted on selected topics. The final re-sults will be presented to each other in an innovative and creative format at the end of the first semester.
The Community Service Project
Students from both sides will combine their efforts, skills and access to form a service group. Throughout the course, students can discover interests and talents as well as build skills and confidence in both themselves and their class-mates.
The Akoma Ntoso Cultural Center, along with the generously donated Telepresence equipment from Polycom Corpora-tion, enable students on both sides of the ocean to connect on a very real level, face to face, culture to culture, and dis-cover for themselves their commonality. Our cultural exchange programs have inspired students and teachers on both continents to see new and unique ways of learning and sharing. The Ambassador Program develops cultural awareness, relationships and practical experience in putting knowledge to work in the service of one’s peers abroad. Our hope is that this program will be a first step towards the students becoming lifelong global citizens.
