Youth Leadership Programs are designed to promote high-quality leadership, civic responsibility, and civic activism among our countries’ future leaders.  The exchanges offer a practical examination of the principles of democracy and civil society as practiced in the United States and provide participants with training that allows them to develop their leadership skills.  The program plan allows the participants to thoroughly explore civic education in the United States in a creative, memorable, and practical way, with activities that are designed to be replicable and provide practical knowledge and skills that the participants can apply to school and civic activities at home.  The participants will live with American families for the majority of the exchange period.  Multiple opportunities for participants to interact with American youth and educators will be included.
