Pan-Africa Youth Leadership Program
About the Program
April 9th - April 22nd, 2025
FIUTS hosted a cohort of the pan-africa youth leadership program
During this program, 21 high-school aged students and 8 adult mentors develop leadership and civic engagement skills, learn about U.S. history and culture, and build a network of Pan-African emerging leaders, forging bonds between youth from the African continent and Washington State. The participating countries are Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Equatorial Guinea, and Rwanda.
U.S.-based Student Ambassadors communicated with African students to learn about one another’s culture, discuss shared topics of interest, and build new international relations.
FIUTS produces this program through a contract with Meridian International Center, and the program is fully funded by the U. S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
