This opportunity is designed to bring young foreign professionals to the United States for four week to six week-long fellowships in organizations related to their field of work, followed by American counterparts who will travel overseas for reciprocal fellowships.
Projects should take place over the course of one to two years, and engage up-and-coming and mid-level government or civil society professionals who will effect positive change in their institutions and communities through the following initiatives:
- the Legislative Fellows Program,
- the Women's Empowerment Program,
- and the Young Entrepreneurs Program.
U.S. public and non-profit organizations may submit proposals that support the goals of these professional exchange programs.
