What is people to people student ambassador programs?

Question

I got a letter from them saying I was invited to travel and study in England Belgium, France, and The Netherlands for the summer of '09.

So what do I have to do to go?

Answer 1

First you go to the informational meeting. They will give you a packet of stuff and go over everything with you. Then you have to send in an application, get recommendations, and be interviewed. after you are accepted you'll have a meeting once a month with the group you are going with until the date of the trip. You'll do diffrent projects and assignments and get to know the people you are traveling with.  

Answer 2

I'm not sure either.  I got an offer to go to Italy, France, and Greece, for the summer of '09, so I was psyched.  I asked my dad about it and he was like, "It's probably a scam."  

So I researched it and apparently it's legit, but not as safe as they might imply.  A kid with diabetes died on a trip to Japan last summer.

The article I read was my source.

Answer 3

Founded in 1956 by President Eisenhower as part of the U.S. State Department, People to People is a prestigious worldwide effort to bring citizens together and work toward world peace. In 1961 People to People International became a private foundation dedicated to the mission of international peace and understanding.

Answer 4

i also got a letter saying i was invited to spain, france, and italy in the summer of 09.  i assume there is some hidden cost of several thousand dollars that People to People did not put in the letter.  does anyone know if that's true?

Answer 5

I'm not sure...I got one too, but for China. I'm pretty excited but people keep telling me it's like a scam or something. I dunno what to think about it. I hope it's not cos I really wanna go. And my friend says she got the same thing. I'm pretty confused...
