Youth Ambassadors Program

The Youth Ambassadors Program is an initiative of social responsibility of the U.S. Embassy in

Brazil, in partnership with public and private organizations. Among our key collaborators are the

National Council of State Secretaries of Education – CONSED, the Brazilian Ministry of Education –

MEC, and the large network of U.S.-Brazil Binational Centers. [...]

Created in 2002, this program targets Brazilian students who are examples in their communities –

in terms of proven leadership, positive attitude, proven social consciousness, academic excellence, and

English language ability. The Program’s main goal is to value and promote the strengthening of public

education through these students, transforming them in models to their colleagues and communities.

The winners of this contest travel in January to a three-week program in the United States. During

the first week, they visit the U.S. Capital and its main landmarks, participate in meetings in public and

private sector organizations, visit schools and social projects, and take a course on youth protagonism.

After that first week in Washington, D.C., they are divided into smaller groups that go to different states

in the U.S., where they stay with host families, attend classes in local high schools and interact with

Americans of their same age, take part in cultural and social responsibility activities in the community

and deliver presentations about Brazil.

The experience of being a Youth Ambassador gives these outstanding students the opportunity to

expand their horizons at the same time as they help us strengthen the ties of friendship, respect and

collaboration between Brazil and the United States.
