Clarkston High School’s Christina Teichman was one of a delegation of high school students from Oakland and Livingston counties to be selected by People to People Student Ambassador Program to visit Australia this summer.
These students will spend approximately three weeks learning about the government, economy and culture of Australia through activities such as briefings with local governments and visits to local towns. Each student ambassador will also spend some time in a home stay with an Australian family.
Each student ambassador is selected on the basis of recommendations, including school references and personal interviews. Once students are accepted into the program, they prepare for their overseas project by attending orientation meetings in their own area and studying background material on the countries and organizations they will visit.
