Its first two-week study tour will be to the People's Republic of China this June.
The PAAC Travel Program is funded by a $200,000 grant from the Freeman Foundation.
The program will take a delegation of 15-20 students to a different Asian or Pacific country each summer, drawn from participants within PAAC clubs and after-school classes.
The educational tours will address such themes as international relations, international commerce, global politics and foreign governments.
PAAC is a private, nonprofit organization seeking to promote awareness of international affairs and U.S. foreign policy, with an emphasis on Asia and the Pacific.
