Information about the Program for Recommender:

The Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program for undergraduates is a youth leadership exchange program
based in the U.S. for Iraqi students between the ages 18-24. The program aims to develop a cadre of
young adults in Iraq who have a strong sense of civic responsibility, a commitment to community
development, an awareness of current and global issues, strong interpersonal leadership skills,
willingness to foster relationships among youth from different ethnic, religious, and national groups in
Iraq, and to promote mutual understanding, respect and collaboration between the United States and
Iraq.
Participants will be required to implement follow-on activities upon their return home that will help the
participants stay in touch with each other and reflect on their experiences and integrate that learning
into their day-to-day lives at home. An important goal of the program is that the student leaders, now
empowered, will train other student leaders through student led community-oriented service projects.
