My Nonprofit Reviews

The Pittsburgh educational community is fortunate to have the opportunities for our students that are available through the World Affairs Council. For the past two years my students have been involved in the Student Ambassador Program. The international speakers that have visited our schools have sparked an enthusiasm and interest within my students to learn more about other cultures. The students listen intently and eagerly and ask a variety of questions throughout the presentations. This program sparked the students’ interest in ways that I could not reproduce alone in the classroom. This speaks volumes about its effectiveness. When the students attend the culminating conference they are able to interact with a diverse group of professionals. Their presentations help them to become geographically literate and better prepared for the global community. This kind of exposure is essential as we raise our youth to become future leaders in an increasingly complex, interconnected, and diverse world.
