Meet Our Youth Ambassadors
Youth Ambassadors at the USA Pavilion are the “Faces of America” to the millions of visitors at Expo 2020 Dubai, serving as greeters and exhibit guides. Youth Ambassadors come from communities from across the United States and share an authentic and detailed explanation of Pavilion exhibits. As an integral part of the USA Pavilion Team, Youth Ambassadors participate in an exciting cultural exchange program, taking on different roles at the USA Pavilion, representing the United States, telling America’s story, and greeting dignitaries. Youth Ambassadors connect in a free and open manner with visitors from all over the world.
