stress importance of giving back SPOKANE, Wash., April 27
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- People to People Ambassador Programs, the
leader in global educational travel experiences, today announced
Presidential Leadership: In the Footsteps of Presidents Obama and
Lincoln, a new summer travel program that provides students the
opportunity to learn important leadership skills by following the
political footsteps of Presidents Obama and Lincoln. The program
features unique insight from NBC News correspondent Luke Russert,
who reports on youth issues for NBC Nightly News, The Today Show
and MSNBC; and political strategist David Plouffe, best known as
the chief campaign manager for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential
campaign. Students taking part in this historic travel experience
will also participate in a community service project with Chicago
Cares, the city's largest hands-on volunteer organization that
serves the needs of children, adults, seniors, the environment, the
hungry and homeless. "We developed this historic summer program
based on overwhelming customer interest following the success of
our Inaugural Program," said Peg Thomas, president People to People
Ambassador Programs. "In today's difficult economy, families asked
us for alternative travel experiences for students to learn and
grow, with perhaps shorter time frames. We feel this compelling new
program fills that need and more. Those who take advantage of this
opportunity will get an inside look at Presidents Obama and
Lincoln, hear from experts they can relate to and learn practical
ways to instill change in their own communities." Presidential
Leadership: In the Footsteps of Presidents Obama and Lincoln takes
place August 2-8, 2009 on the campus of the University of Chicago
with a day-trip to Springfield, Illinois. The program is available
to students from the sixth grade up to juniors in college. Students
can earn 10 service-learning hours during the program with an
additional 55 classroom hours for high school students or one
social studies credit for college students. "I'm excited about
being an integral part of this unique opportunity with People to
People Ambassador Programs," said Luke Russert, NBC News
correspondent and one of the featured speakers. "I had the
privilege to cover the historic 2008 election and look forward to
sharing what I learned from that experience." Parents and students
