Germany's Young Ambassadors

Bianca MüllerWhat does America think about Germany? Find out for yourself when you start an intercultural dialogue with American high school students.

Bianca Müller Are you a student from Germany attending a college or university in or near San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, New York, or Washington DC?
Would you love to meet some young Americans to see how your host country really ticks? Want to look at Germany through other people’s eyes? Here is your chance!

Visit an American classroom. Middle and high school students are thrilled to welcome you to their school. Talk about everyday life in Germany, your hobbies, interests and dreams. Start a dialogue about history and culture. Improve your cross-cultural communication skills. Play the role of a civic ambassador for your home country.

Bianca MüllerWe won’t burden you with hours of planning for this project. You simply let us know how much time you have available -- we’ll hook you up with a school that fits your needs. You can visit a school for one period or stay the whole day. You can visit one school, you can visit many schools. It’s completely up to you!

We offer:

  • Travel fees for school visits
  • An introductory workshop covering topics like cross-cultural communication skills and the American school system
  • A volunteer certificate.

Curious? Contact us and we’ll provide you with further information.
