Think Globally, Act Locally: How International Collaboration Can Help Change Perspectives and Address Community Issues

Ready to join a dynamic global network of community leaders? Revitalize your role as a community leader and become a driving force in shaping the future of decision makers, thought leaders, and community activists worldwide through the Community Engagement Exchange (CEE) and Community Solutions Programs (CSP), sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by IREX.

This is your opportunity to collaborate with diverse and multidisciplinary civil society leaders through a global ecosystem working on community dialogue, open government, women and gender issues, youth empowerment, resilience, and sustainable development. By serving as a host, U.S. organizations offer emerging or seasoned civil society leaders a professional development experience to develop their own skills and expertise. Hosts also have the opportunity to gain new and diverse perspectives regarding their own work, generate new ideas for scale and possible partners for future collaboration. Hear more on how you can get involved and the benefits of expanding your network across borders to better address issues in your own community.
