Smithsonian Latino Young Ambassadors
The Smithsonian Latino Center’s Young Ambassador Program (YAP) is a national program for graduating high school seniors, YAP is a leadership and college preparatory program that encourages a myriad of academic and career fields to explore. Ambassadors participate in a week long all-expenses paid interdisciplinary training seminar and followed by a four-week internship in a preselected museum or cultural center in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
