Become a HERO Youth Ambassador!


I was recently contacted by a member of the HERO Youth Ambassador program. The program was developed to provide comprehensive school-based support to orphans and vulnerable children living in HIV/AIDS-affected African communities.

Now, HERO is looking for 20 students (ages 16-19) from across the US and Canada to be selected as 2008 HERO Youth Ambassadors. Students chosen will travel to Africa in 2008. The deadline to apply is March 1st, 2008. If you know of a young person who is interested, feel free to pass this information along. Click the links below to find out more info!

You can learn more about this program here:
