The Kent-Yangzhou Sister City Committee is offering greater Kent area teens the opportunity to participate in its annual Youth Ambassador cultural exchange program with Yangzhou, China.
Participants will spend three weeks in China hosted by a Yangzhou family. Then the Kent area youth and family will host their Chinese counterpart for three weeks in their home.
Teens, ages 14-17, enrolled and in good standing as a freshman, sophomore or junior attending home, public, or private school in the greater Kent area are encouraged to apply for the program. The cost of the Chinese Visa and half of the airfare is paid by the committee.
The deadline is Feb. 3 for applicants interested in expanding their world views and learning about China’s rich cultural heritage. Information and application is available at: http://www.ci.kent.wa.us/content.aspx?id=1532.
