Prepare for an adventure of a lifetime.
This exciting and inspiring program offers you an incredible opportunity to discover a dynamic culture, learn colorful regional history, and marvel at the unparalleled beauty of the area’s natural surroundings. When you participate in Junior Ambassadors Abroad, you’ll return home with an enlightened perspective on the world and a greater understanding of your role as a global leader.

See Sydney from every angle.
From Sydney Harbor and the iconic Opera House to the fascinating Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park and Bondi Beach, you’ll become familiar with Australian Culture and customs as the locals. Besides touring the town and taking in the impressive architecture, you’ll learn about the country’s politics, economy, and growing population in a series of tours and excursions designed to bring the surroundings to life.

Escape to remote outposts.
Once you’ve left cosmopolitan city life behind, you’ll journey to Australia’s Daintree Rainforest – home to more than half the world’s plant and animal species. Here you’ll ascend to the quaint, treetop rainforest village of Kurnada on the Atherton Tableland. Your adventures in the wild will also include insights into related subjects like the diverse Maori people of New Zealand, one of the world’s longest surviving cultures.

Discover diverse environments.
Your adventure Down Under will also introduce you to some of the most diverse and unique environments on the planet. In New Zealand you’ll ride a boat into the darkness of the famous Waitomo Caves, illuminated by the glow over a million points of light – a visual spectacle that explains its nickname, Glowworm Grotto. Then you’ll travel into another world as you discover the Whakarewarewa geothermal area, perhaps the most unique geological region in the world. Trek into the Blue Mountains of Australia toward the town of Katoomba in a quest for the Wollombi Pine Grove, the dwelling place of ancient pine trees not found anywhere else on the planet. Once there, you’ll discover a new perspective from 900 feet above it all on the scenic Katoomba Scenic Skyway. Your adventure is complete as you dive into the clear blue waters of the Great Barrier Reef and descend into one of the most colorful and diverse ecosystems in the world!
