The 4th year program focuses on Civil Society Development to promote mutual understanding, enhance leadership and professional skills, and build sustainable partnerships between emerging leaders from foreign countries and the U.S. We are seeking emerging leaders that currently work in NGOs.

During the five-week program in the United States, participants will gain firsthand knowledge of how organizations and institutions operate, while also participating in site visits and specially-designed seminars. An important part of the program is a Fellowship. Participants will be matched with a similar organization in Montana and work with an American counterpart for one month. Participants will spend one month in the state of Montana and one week in Washington, D.C. Read more in YSEALI
