American Youth Ambassador Program
Part of the vision at Olive Children Foundation is to inspire and prepare our young people to be the
leaders for tomorrow, in order to better themselves and their community. This August 2015, we are proud
to present a partnership between Olive Children and Guangming Middle School for an experience
abroad in China to teach English. Teaching English abroad will allow you to gain real-world experience
and international competency, experience a new culture, establish new friends, as well as build your
resume. If you are interested in service and volunteering, have an enthusiasm for sharing American
culture, consider joining us! After the service, Olive Children Foundation will provide service hours, as
well as assist students in applying for the prestigious President's Volunteer Service Award.
PROGRAM ACTIVITIES: The program will be held in August 6-18, 2015. There are 12 volunteer spots
available in this program. Volunteers will prepare a 10 day lesson plan in the months leading up to our
