MEPI Student Leaders Program
The Student Leaders program is an intensive 5- to 6-week exchange
program to the United States for approximately 100 undergraduate
students from the Middle East and North Africa. Students are divided
among up to six U.S. academic institutions where they develop leadership
skills and expand their understanding of civil society, as well as the
democratic process and how both may be applied in their home
communities. Participants have the opportunity to meet their American
peers, engage in local community service activities, and observe and
take part in the governmental process on the local, state, and federal
levels. The institutes include academic coursework, as well as study
tours to various regions of the United States. Upon completion of the
U.S.-based programs, host institutes work with participants to implement
civic engagement programs in their home communities. An alumni event is
generally held in the region approximately 6 months after the U.S.
portion of the program.
