What is the commitment like if I were to be selected?

Ambassadors are expected to participate in the full-day GAP kick-off event on October 13 and complete the Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (takes 10-15 minutes). After that, we meet every other week (twice a month). These meetings will typically last for about 90 minutes, and dinner will be served in selective meetings. GAP offers at least one GAP-theme related excursion in New York City per semester. Excursions are free to all GAP participants.
