P2P: Hawaiian Island Discovery

Did you know that an easy way for our delegation to keep in touch with each other and the People to People experience after our program is to start a Student Chapter in our area?

Check it out on p 48 of your Explore Guide!

Your leaders will share more information on this at our March 5th meeting. Ohio only has two Student Chapters in the entire state, and to start one in our area would be a rewarding experience for our delegation. We believe with as many self-motivated ambassadors and parents, this would be a very easy organization to start in Akron. We are looking for members and adult advisors! Anyone interested? We need one advisor, and 10 students to form a Student Chapter. Susan is willing to serve as an assistant advisor. The meetings are run and organized by the students and are run similarly to our Orientation Meetings.

"Chapters are the backbone of People to People international, bringing the ideal of international understanding and education to life at a local level. Thousands of students and adults are members of our worldwide chapter network. Many young members feel inspired by PTPI's mission and their experience as Student Ambassadors. They decide to stay involved with the organization. The best way to do that is to form a student chapter with interested friends and fellow Student Ambassadors.

• introduce international students to American culture
• organize an international Fair in your community. Introduce your friends to fook, music, and cultures from around the world.
• Hold fund-raising events for your student chapter's activities, international humanitarian efforts, and Student Ambassador trips."
