People to People Student Ambassador Program
People to People was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower during his administration. Eight presidents have since served as Honorary Chairman. The current Honorary Chairman is
George W. Bush.
People to People Student Ambassador Programs are invitation-only programs that provide international educational opportunities for grade school, junior high school, and high school students.
