The Cultural Ambassador Program is an international initiative whose goal is to improve global, cross-cultural understanding through programs led by U.S. leading cultural figures in foreign countries. Cultural Ambassadors are prominent Americans in the cultural and humanities fields who conduct high visibility outreach programs in priority countries and regions. Each Ambassador shares a common mission to strengthen cultural institutions and relationships between American individuals and cultural institutions and their counterparts around the world. While overseas, they engage with youth, particularly in under-served areas, by undertaking projects in their areas of expertise through clinics, performances, coaching sessions, motivational speeches, master classes, and leadership training.
