Meet Our New Young Ambassadors!

Last week, we welcomed a new class of Young Ambassadors to New York for our yearly training workshop. Young Ambassadors are undergraduate students who promote study and research in Germany by working with their universities’ study abroad offices, volunteering at study abroad fairs, organizing class visits, info sessions, and fun events, and answering their fellow students’ questions.

Our 19 Young Ambassadors attend universities across the United States, including Puerto Rico, and Canada. Get to know them by checking out their bios here!
