Nicolet senior Sienna Clarke was recently named a semifinalist for the 2026-27 Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange program❗
Founded in 1983 and sponsored by the State Department and the German Bundestag, the CBYX provides students the opportunity to spend a year studying at a German school and acting as youth ambassadors. Sienna's desire to take part in this program was sparked by her participation in Nicolet's 2024 GAPP Exchange with the Gymnasium Leopoldinum. Last year she organized a pen pal program for Leo and Glen Hills students and will do so again this year.
Congratulations Sienna 👏
