Minneapolis student selected for prestigious Youth Ambassador program

Minneapolis high school student Soren Kremer (16) has been selected to travel to Colombia for three weeks this summer as a Youth Ambassador.

The highly competitive program, funded by the U.S. Department of State and implemented by Partners of the Americas, includes nine other students from Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Kansas and North Carolina. None of the participants has traveled to Colombia before and many have never traveled outside of the United Sates.

The program aims to strengthen mutual understanding, awareness, and cooperation between the people of the United States and Colombia. Youth will gain knowledge and skills in Colombia that will help them contribute to their communities in the United States through service projects upon their return.

Partners of the Americas is an international network that promotes social and economic development in the Americas through leadership, voluntary service, and development programs. Its mission is to connect individuals, volunteers, institutions, businesses, and communities to serve and to change lives through lasting partnerships.
