We offer a variety of educational experiences for high school students both online and in person.
Are you a local wanting to explore topics of global importance year-round? Check out our Youth Diplomats program! Not only will you make friends while building your student resume, but Youth Diplomats are usually the first to know about exchange scholarships.
Do you speak English and want to join an online summer camp with teens from the United States and around the world? It’s time to explore Camp Global!
Maybe you live in Northwest Florida & want to have a two-week in-person exchange experience with teens from around the world who are participating in exchanges sponsored by the U.S. Department of State? IYLEP & Youth Ambassadors are the exchanges for you.
Did you know that many countries around the world consider “youth” to be a term appropriate for people who are in their 20s? If you are in that age group and are attending the University of West Florida, you may be interested in the Ashley Hardaway Theriot study abroad scholarship. Ashley’s Scholarship is offered annually to students from our region, and you may be the perfect fit for it.
