The 2011 100,000 Strong SDSU Group would like to thank you for your support for our endeavor in China. We are all extremely excited to embark on our trip and take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity. 

The honor is all ours as we humbly accept the 100,000 Strong Grant allowing us to have the chance to network with the brightest minds from all over the world and for the experience of traveling to China. We feel equally honored to represent our country, university, and families as we journey over 6,000 miles across the Pacific.  

Our goal is to become ambassadors for the next generation in the continual fostering of diplomatic relations between the United States and China politically, economically, and culturally.  

In response to President Obama's 100,000 Strong Initiative, 100 American students will be awarded grants to participate in the 2011 International Youth Festival held in Beijing, China. 

Alongside the Education Association for China Tomorrow, the program is part of the United Nations movement, International Year of the Youth, August 2010-2011 Our Year Our Voice. The summit will begin on July 12 and last until August 8, 2011. 

Ten SDSU students will travel to China this summer to take part in this international gathering of outstanding youth. These ten students will not only take part in the festival as regular attendees, but were among the 100 selected to be awarded the 100,000 Strong Grant, which will cover all expenses while in China. They will engage in workshop of an array of subjects such as leadership building, international human rights, and sustainability. Furthermore, the group has been selected to present 2 workshops during the course of the summit. 

In Phase Two of the program, all 100K Strong SDSU students will be immersed into Chinese society by attending the Volunteer Action Program, which will give the group an opportunity to teach English at various Beijing schools for 2 weeks. In the third week, the group will get an incredible experience by traveling to Inner-Mongolia for 6 days where they will continue to devote themselves to teaching English.
