CENTRAL CAMBRIA STUDENTS INSPIRED BY UPCOMING PROGRAM

Tara Guyan, Ashley Deskevich, Chris Nichalke, Josh Remillard, Kaitlyn Dodson, Mitchell Vogatsky, Savana Goshey, Scott Bauer, Tanner Ambrisco, and Taylor Keiper have been chosen as nominations for the People to People World Leadership Forum. These students have the opportunity to join fellow students from around the world to learn about leadership and how iconic leaders throughout history have handled world events. Various hands-on activities, relevant professional speakers, small-group workshops, and visits to significant memorials, museums, and monuments will provide students with insights on the importance and essential need for informed and inspired world leaders.

The People to People World Leadership Forum offers students a unique blend of specialized educational, leadership, and cultural exposure through a variety of programs, as well as an itinerary filled with the highlights of the hosting community. While in location, students will have the opportunity to create lifelong memories and form lasting friendships with other Leadership Ambassadors from around the world.

Chris Nischalke, a previous People to People participant and nominee for this year, graciously shared information about his experiences within the program. “The People to People program is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Being able to travel around the world is eye-opening, especially at a relatively young age.” Commenting on his personal trip, Chris added, “my experience was amazing. I was able to travel around Europe, seeing famous sights and meeting many new friends. Anyone who is able to travel should do so.”

Participants in People to People World Leadership Forums often experience life-changing shifts in their attitudes toward personal responsibility, global leadership, and cultural diversity, returning home with enhanced leadership skills and self-confidence.
