The IRAQI YOUTH LEADERS EXCHANGE PROGRAM (IYLP):
The IYLP is a 4-week youth leadership program based in the U.S. It aims to promote mutual understanding, respect and collaboration between the United States and the Iraq.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS:
The Community Connections Program is designed to promote public diplomacy through the exchange of cultural ideas and values among participants, U.S. families and local community host organizations.
OPEN WORLD: Since its founding by Congress in 1999, the Open World Program has enabled more than 14,000 current and future Eurasian leaders to experience American democracy, civil society and community life; work with their American counterparts; stay in American homes; and gain new ideas and inspiration for implementing change back home.
