Frequently Asked Questions
How are students invited to participate in the program?

Students are invited to participate in a variety of ways. They can be nominated for the program by teachers, former Student Ambassadors or their parents. Our goal is to offer the opportunity to participate in our programs to as many students as possible, and for this reason, we work with student listing organizations to send invitations to students who may be interested in the program. Students can also request an invitation, but regardless of how they receive an invitation, all students must be interviewed and submit three letters of recommendation. We rely on this process to help us select the best students and ensure that they are appropriate candidates for the program.

How much does the program cost?

Tuition varies by program, and includes accommodations, meals and much more. Because of the variety of our programs, we do not provide tuition details on this site. For a full explanation of your program and the tuition, please attend your local information meeting.


How do I reserve my spot at a meeting?

Simply go to the reserve area of this site. Once you log in with your name and Personal Identification Number, information about your meeting location, time and date will appear and you will be confirmed for your meeting.


What can I expect at the meeting?

At your information meeting, you will hear all about the programs we offer, meet alumni and their families as well as teacher-leaders, learn tuition details and get all your other questions answered. You will also receive application materials. Meetings last about one hour.


Who should go to the meeting?

While we encourage the entire family to attend and learn about this life-changing opportunity, it is not necessary. We do highly recommend the invited student attend with at least one parent or guardian.

Who is People to People?

People to People was founded in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who believed that ordinary citizens of different nations, if able to communicate directly, would solve their differences and find a way to live in peace. This simple thought – that people can make a difference where government cannot – is People to People’s foundation. Since 1963, People to People Student Ambassador Programs has taken thousands of students across international borders to connect with people all over the world. Learn more about us.

How do you choose the leaders?

We choose teacher leaders in much the same way we select Student Ambassadors: through applications, recommendations and interviews. We have a large group of leaders each year who are very experienced in leading student delegations. Many of them have served as People to People delegation leaders for several years.


When will my program depart?

Delegations usually depart between the first week of June and the end of July. The specific departure date depends on when school closes in your area and how many students are in your delegation. You'll be on the road for approximately two or three weeks, depending on your grade level and the countries you'll be visiting.

How long will I be away from home?

Most Student Ambassador journeys are between two and three weeks long, depending on your grade level and the countries you'll be visiting. Programs for high school students and our alumni who have explored previously as Student Ambassadors tend to last about three weeks. Programs for fifth and sixth grade students are usually about two weeks in length.
