During the students say in New York City, they will enjoy visits to some of the most famous and popular attractions like Rockefeller Center, attend leadership workshops with famed speaker Scott Lang, and celebrate Thanksgiving on a Hudson River dinner cruise.
Best of all, they will lead the 80th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade down Broadway in front of over 2.5 million spectators along the parade route and 50 million worldwide viewers.
