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
