Youth Ambassadors East Asia Pacific (2024-2026)

Nearly 70 young leaders from across East Asia and the Pacific • Ages 15–18 • Three weeks in the United States

PH International’s Youth Ambassadors East Asia Pacific program brings young people and adult mentors from across the region to the United States for an immersive exchange focused on leadership, entrepreneurship, and American society.

During the exchange, participants meet American educators, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and nonprofit professionals while taking part in leadership workshops, outdoor experiences, and collaborative activities. Through time with American host families and local communities, they gain firsthand insight into American life, explore democracy and civic institutions, build new skills and friendships, and develop practical ideas for addressing challenges in their communities.

The Youth Ambassadors program advances America First priorities by strengthening people-to-people relationships, deepening understanding of American values and institutions, and building connections that support long-term U.S. interests. Participants return home with expanded perspectives, lasting international friendships, and plans for community projects—while adult mentors gain new tools to support youth leadership and positive change in their communities.
