Students Sought for Exchange Program
The Torrance Sister City Association is seeking Torrance residents who are high school sophomores through college freshmen, aged 19 or younger, to serve as cultural ambassadors in the Student Cultural Exchange Program.
Selected students will spend three weeks in July in Kashiwa, Japan, Torrance's sister city. The trip includes visits to Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima. Travelers are housed in Kashiwa homes.
The local association has sponsored the trip since 1974. Applications for the Summer 2008 journey are due by December 21. Interested students can find applications in their school's counseling office or by calling the Torrance Community Services Department at (310) 618-2930.
