Upcoming Young Ambassadors Program (YAP) May 30-June 6, 2013
The Young Ambassadors Program (YAP) brings together young people ages 14-20 who lost either a parent or immediate family member in a terrorist attack or were injured themselves. This year's program which takes place in New York City, May 30-June 6, 2013, will include participants from Ireland, Spain, England, Uganda, Algeria, Argentina, Israel and the United States. The week long program is filled with exciting and fun activities combined with meetings with political and community leaders in order to empower these young people to take their personal experiences of trauma and share them with each other in order to bring about healing.
This year's program includes such activities as FAO Schwartz, Six Flags Great Adventure, The 9/11 Tribute Center and 9/11 Memorial, The Intrepid Museum, Dave and Buster's, and many other surprises for the participants. The young people also participate in interactive programs to assist them in building a global peer support group -- knowing that they have friends all over the world that understand what they are going through and they can share with them going forward.
If you are interested in sponsoring a participant for this year's program or getting involved, please contact Sarri Singer at sarri@stosglobal.org.
