Description

Meridian implements the U.S. Department of State’s Pan-Africa Youth Leadership Program. The Pan African Youth Leadership Programme is an intensive academic program offered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA)’s Youth Programs Division. Through three-week intensive exchanges in the United States, participants engage in workshops on leadership and service, community site visits related to the program themes and subthemes; interactive training in conflict resolution; presentations; visits to high schools; local cultural activities; and homestays with local American families. A key component of the program is for participants to develop follow-on community-based projects in their home communities to effect positive change after their return home.
