Student Exchange, 2012
Eleven York County high schools students represented our community, our country and our organization during the fall 2012 tour. Students applied and were selected based on their abilities in the French language, teacher and personal references, and an essay. Student ambassadors included: Jessica Roy, Rachel Wilsey, Leah Parr, Alexis Ferebee, Sara Moniuszko, Megan Richards, Rebecca Mackey, Kelsey Rivers, Lilly Fawcett, David Anderson and Kathleen Brown. They were hosted by French families in both Port-Vendres and nearby Ceret. Activities included tours to local historic and popular sites and a special reception hosted by Port-Vendres d’Abord. Their tour concluded in Paris.
