Economy Doesn't Stop Thousands of Students and Teachers Traveling This Summer
With People to People Ambassador Programs

Participants from all 50 states travel to 46 different countries, experience
access to people, places and exclusive activities

SPOKANE, Wash., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Despite today's tough
economy, People to People Ambassador Programs, the leader in global
educational travel experiences, this summer is sending thousands of students
and teachers from all 50 states on unique educational experiences to 46
countries around the world. The People to People Ambassador Programs'
experience is centered on travel and learning with unique access to both
people and cultural activities. The company will be travelling students this
summer to locations like the South Pacific, Asia and Europe, where students in
grades 5 through 12 will also serve the organizational mission by bridging
cultural and political borders via school visits, service projects and home
stays, making the world a better place for future generations. Only on a
People to People Ambassador Program can students rappel from a castle wall in
Wales or meet face-to-face with a Member of Parliament in London.

"Whether the economy is good or bad, parents view our educational travel
programs as an investment in their child's future and a key part in helping
preparing them for success in a globalized world," said Peg Thomas, president
of People to People Ambassador Programs. "Our programs offer life-changing
educational experiences that help build self-confidence, sharpen leadership
skills and establish lasting friendships. We are extremely proud of the fact
that our participants travelling with us last year gave their experience a
rating of greater than 90 percent in overall satisfaction and would highly
recommend our programs to a friend."

New this year is People to People's social media hub, an interactive site
where students and teachers travelling this summer are encouraged to share
their unique experiences online by posting their photos and videos:
www.peopletopeople.com/hub. The new media hub will also include links to
other social networking sites where students and teachers can continue to
build upon the friendships they developed through their People to People
travels.

For more than 40 years, People to People Ambassador Programs has provided
educational travel experiences for youth and adults. The organization has
safely travelled more than 400,000 people and operated programs through some
of the most historic and challenging times, including the current economic
recession, Tiananmen Square, Gulf War, War in Iraq, September 11 and the
London bombings.

"Learning comes alive for students who travel abroad with People to People
Ambassador Programs," said Molly Woodrow, a teacher from Cincinnati who has
led students abroad with People to People Ambassador Programs since 1987. "As
students experience other cultures, they develop a strong sense of
self-awareness and return home with a much better understanding of just how
interconnected our world truly is."

Giving back:
Students and teachers in the programs spend nearly six-months prior to
departure learning about their destinations and discovering its cultural
differences. Participants also contribute more than 100,000 hours of volunteer
time at home and around the world each year. From releasing sea turtles in
Greece to working with school children in Africa and assisting local
communities with harvest in China, the programs make a global impact, one
service project at a time and teach students the value of service within their
own communities back at home.

For more than ten years, People to People Ambassador Programs has provided
scholarships for students who wish to participate in its exciting programs.
As a top priority, the organization has donated roughly $400,000 in annual
scholarships to students who have demonstrated a deep commitment to their
education and community service. Within the past five years alone, People to
People has donated more than one million dollars in scholarship funds to
qualified students.
