Overview
The Youth Leadership Program with
Sub-Saharan Africa is a three-week
exchange for high school youth and
adult educators focused on civic
education, community service, and
youth leadership development.
Subthemes that explore these
overarching themes may be added, such
as business and entrepreneurship, the
environment, public health, or other
topics relevant to the participating
African countries. Participants engage in
a variety of activities such as workshops
on leadership and service, community
site visits related to the program themes
and subthemes, interactive training,
presentations, visits to high schools,
local cultural activities, and other
activities designed to achieve the
program’s stated goals. Multiple
opportunities for participants to interact
meaningfully with their American peers
must be included. Follow-on activities
with the participants are an integral part
of the program, as the students apply
the knowledge and skills they have
acquired by planning service projects in
their home communities.
The goals of the program are to:
(1) Promote mutual understanding
between the people of the United States
and the people of Africa;
(2) Prepare youth leaders to become
responsible citizens and contributing
members of their communities; and
(3) Foster relationships among youth
from different ethnic, religious, and
national groups.
The objectives of the program are for
participants to:
(1) Demonstrate a better
understanding of the elements of a
participatory democracy as practiced in
the United States;
(2) Demonstrate critical thinking and
leadership skills; and
(3) Demonstrate skill at developing
project ideas and planning a course of
action to bring the projects to fruition.
The primary themes of the program
are:
(1) Civic Education (Citizen
Participation, Grassroots Democracy and
Rule of Law);
(2) Community Service; and
(3) Youth Leadership Development.
For each project, applicant
organizations must focus on these
primary themes. Secondary themes,
such as business and entrepreneurship,
the environment, public health, or other
topics relevant to the participating
African countries, will serve to illustrate
the more abstract concepts of the
