June 2011 trip has been cancelled

Due to concerns based on the tragic events of March 2011 in Northeast Japan, we have postponed the June 2011 Youth Ambassador trip to Japan until late Spring 2012. Thanks to all who worked hard to qualify for the trip and we are hoping next year will see some of you with us.
