Wuzzz Up?

Adam Volk, a student at Dutcher Middle School in Turlock, has been accepted into the People to People Student Ambassador Program, an educational travel program founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Adam will explore France, Greece and Italy for 21 days next summer as a member of the Northern California delegation. By participating in the European Odyssey itinerary, he can earn academic credit while getting to know the people and cultures and history of the places visited.

Adam will have the opportunity to visit the Vatican, Louvre Museum, climb Mount Vesuvius, visit historical castles and, along with many other exciting activities, will have the opportunity to stay with a local family in one of the countries for a weekend.

After being invited to enroll, Adam submitted letters of recommendation and successfully completed an interview process. Before departing, he will attend several orientation meetings with program leaders and fellow delegates to learn about the destinations and prepare for the journey.

Adam will travel under the leadership of Vicki Harmon, a teacher at Keyes Charter School.
