U.S.-Jordan Leadership Exchange Program 2023
The US offers youth the chance to apply for fully funded leadership programmes. The fantastic exchange programme will improve ties between Jordan and the US. Participation in this programme is crucial for young people who want to give back to their communities.
A new generation of cooperative, imaginative, and values-driven Jordanian leaders will be produced during the course of the three-year UJLEP (U.S.-Jordan Leadership Exchange Program). The USA Leadership Program seeks to strengthen ties between Jordan and the United States by supporting the development and prosperity of Jordanian businesses and civil society.
As they return from the US, UJLEP fellows will employ their newly acquired leadership and technical skills through follow-up initiatives that will benefit Jordanian communities. UJLEP graduates will join a long-lasting Alumni Network upon their return from the United States, which will act as the foundation for support for their ongoing leadership development.
The educational program’s goal is to support students in acquiring the abilities needed for cross-disciplinary cooperation, original problem-solving, and workplace equity.
