Purpose: Youth Leadership Programs provide youth (typically between the ages of 15-17) and adult educators/community leaders (select programs) the opportunity to examine civic education, leadership development, respect for diversity, and community engagement through month long exchanges in the United States. Participants engage in a variety of activities such as workshops on leadership and service, community site visits related to the program themes and subthemes, interactive training, presentations, visits to high schools, local cultural activities, homestays with American families, and other activities designed to achieve the program’s stated goals. Upon their return home, the participants apply what they have learned to implement projects that serve their communities. Multiple opportunities for participants to interact meaningfully with their host country peers are included.
