grade high school students on the beautiful campus of Hampton University. Participants will choose academic tracks in African Language and Culture, Leadership Development, African Diplomacy, Economic Development and Global Affairs to learn how the United States and Africa respond to humanitarian issues and thereby emerge with a greater understanding of how societies help people. Students will also have an opportunity to choose their preference of recreational activities such as, horseback riding, sailing, soccer, or tennis.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit;color: var( --e-global-color-secondary )\">Concerned about the limited number of options for students in the local area, Dr. Barbara LeSeur Inman, Vice President for Student Affairs at Hampton University (in 2012) suggested the development of an affordable weeklong summer program that would be stimulating and fun for students. Not wanting to limit the program to just local students, this program would be marketed across the country to interested families and students. Dr. Inman consulted with Dr. Letizia Gambrell-Boone, former Director of the Hampton University Assessment Center, and Dr. Boone became the developer of the Young Diplomats Program. The purpose of the program is to encourage high school students to become involved in global affairs by learning about the relations between the United States and China. The inaugural year was 2012 with an increasing interest annually.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit;color: var( --e-global-color-secondary )\"><br \/>The weeklong residential experience will be enriched by a trip to Washington, D.C. to visit sites such as the National Museum of African-American History and Culture, U.S. Department of State, and the Martin Luther King Monument. A group of renowned political and community leaders will to inspire the YDP participants to make a difference in their communities. In addition to exposure to the aforementioned activities, the Young Diplomats will practice Robert&#8217;s Rules of Order and the art of debate and learn dining and social etiquette to effect change in both formal and informal settings. They will receive instruction in ballroom dancing. All participants will have an opportunity to display their creative movements at the closing luncheon.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit;color: var( --e-global-color-secondary )\">For any questions or concerns, please contact the Student Success Center at 757-727-5913 or via email,\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: bold;background-color: #ffffff;font-size: 1rem\" href=\"mailto:studentsuccessctr@hamptonu.edu\">studentsuccessctr@hamptonu.edu<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f1af4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"44f1af4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b6fcc5 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_text elementor-widget-divider--element-align-left elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2b6fcc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;none&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 20 16&#039; fill=&#039;none&#039; stroke=&#039;black&#039; stroke-width=&#039;&#039; stroke-linecap=&#039;square&#039; stroke-miterlimit=&#039;10&#039;%3E%3Cg transform=&#039;translate(-12.000000, 0)&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M28,0L10,18&#039;\/%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M18,0L0,18&#039;\/%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M48,0L30,18&#039;\/%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M38,0L20,18&#039;\/%3E%3C\/g%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-divider__text elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\tEnrollment \/ Registration\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd21300 elementor-alert-danger elementor-widget elementor-widget-alert\" data-id=\"bd21300\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"alert.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-alert\" role=\"alert\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-alert-title\">Registration Closed<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-alert-description\">The registration period for the Young Diplomat's Program 2026 is closed effective January 27, 2026.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f299af elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9f299af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Instructions<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7ee9ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7ee9ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Note: <\/strong>Both steps 1 and 2 must be completed for admission into the program.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cce1530 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"cce1530\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a75044 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a75044\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Step 1: Submit Enrollment Online<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a136e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4a136e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tComplete the <strong>Online Enrollment Form<\/strong>, which includes remitting the enrollment fee and cost of larger sized or additional polo shirts.
