Fully Funded US Government Exchange Program 2024
The Community Solutions Program is a yearlong professional development program that supports engaged civil society leaders, ages 26-39, to enhance their leadership and technical expertise to address economic, environmental, political, and social challenges in their local communities.
Through a tailored four-month fellowship with a U.S. nonprofit organization or local government agency, an integrated leadership curriculum, and individualized coaching, visionary leaders strengthen their ability to lead collaboratively, address complex community challenges, and build more equitable, sustainable, and peaceful communities in over 100 countries around the world.
The Community Solutions Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State with funding provided by the U.S. Government and supported in its implementation by IREX.
