Remember the HERO Youth Ambassador Program I told you about?

HERO (has sound) 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 to be an Ambassador is March 1, 2008.

You can check out some of the Youth Ambassador’s personal experiences in a series of webisodes.

Even if you can't apply, be sure to check out the other ways you can get involved with the HERO Program.
