"My Mediterranean Holiday with People to People Ambassador
Programs was an unforgettable experience," said Jorgensen. "I loved
being able to travel to 5 different countries with new friends from
all over. I learned so much and cherished every memory. This
opportunity to travel with People to People Ambassador Programs has
opened up my eyes to the world, and I am excited to continue to
travel and become a global citizen."

"We are proud to be involved with the Miss High School America
pageant, with its strong core values of supporting young people in
their personal and professional development," said Anthony Dombrowik, CEO for People to People
Ambassador Programs. "The global workplace and economy demand young
people have a level of cultural awareness and global aptitude that
cannot be taught in a classroom environment. We are happy to offer
this opportunity to the MHSA community."
This marks the second year that the Miss High School America
Organization will offer a global travel opportunity to its national
titleholder.
"We are so honored to partner with such a prestigious and
