The Young Ambassador Program is organised through the Friends of Saint Patrick organisation and the Saint Patrick Centre (www.saintpatrickcentre.com). It is designed to promote a greater understanding of the shared cultural heritage of Northern Ireland in North America amongst those aged 20-25. Based on the Application on this website and following an interview process Young Ambassadors will be selected to travel to Downpatrick and County Down for 15 days in June 2012 to explore various aspects of the history and traditions of the island of Ireland and develop their own chosen cultural dissertations. They will complete their agreed dissertations when they go home and following a successful review will be formally made Young Ambassadors.
