Teen Ambassador Program
A yearlong learning opportunity for students entering grades 10 through 12.
Offering a behind-the-scenes look into the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, ambassadors examine artifacts from the Museum and explore ongoing themes and issues raised by 9/11. With this foundation, ambassadors write artifact talks and learn how to present them effectively to visitors. In addition, ambassadors gain professional experience by helping with hands-on activities for young visitors and their caregivers.
