To all who are passionate about enhancing and strengthening your leadership skills, this news is for you!
The Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce that the 2023 Southeast Asia Youth Leadership Program (SEAYLP) is now open for application entry. This will be a three-week US-based exchange program that is scheduled to be held from 7th to 28th April 2023 at Dekalb, Illinois.
SEAYLP which involves high school students and adult mentors, includes workshops, interactive sessions, simulations, leadership training, volunteer activities, as well as team-building exercises during the 3-week stay.
While staying with their foster families, participants will be going on a study tour to another region of the United States. This is fully sponsored by the U.S. Embassy and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
Focusing mainly on youth empowerment, the participant will get to learn a lot of new and challenging things via this programme.
Participants will explore the challenges faced by the United States and ASEAN member countries through the three pillars of the ASEAN community: political and security cooperation, economic skills-building (through the exchange’s project development), and socio-cultural leadership (through hands-on activities, workshops, seminars, and site visits to foster greater communication). During the exchange, participants also will collaborate to develop projects that address the needs of their communities upon their return home.
These are the requirements to take part in the International-level leadership programme:
Criteria
- Aged between 15-17 years
- Have strong English skills and strong academic and social skills
- Committed to the follow-on project upon return
- Have permission from parent(s)/guardian(s) and schools to participate in the entire program.
