Grant Description
The Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program seeks to promote mutual understanding between the United States and the countries of Eurasia by providing secondary school students from the region the opportunity to live in American society for an academic year. In turn, these students will expose U.S. citizens to the culture, traditions, and lifestyles of people in Eurasia. Organizations are invited to submit proposals to recruit and select participants; prepare and process documents for approximately 1,134 participants (1,044 academic year students and 90 short-term participants); organize and run pre-departure orientations in each country; produce program publications; organize staff and student travel; manage information for overseas and domestic support; communicate with the students‟ natural families while on program; provide advice and counseling for students and placement organizations; and plan and implement follow-up activities with alumni.
