Greetings, everybody. We seek complete funding for a comprehensive exchange program in the United States. The application process for the IREX Community Engagement Exchange (CEE) Program 2025 in the USA is now underway. The U.S. Department of State officially supports this endeavor; the U.S. government funds it; and IREX carries it out. The CEE Program is an international network of creative people collaborating to tackle present issues. The U.S. government will fully fund all expenses during the participants’ three-month residency in the United States.
The CEE program is designed to cultivate transformative leadership abilities among young civil society leaders between the ages of 21 and 27. This year-long program aims to empower these individuals to create substantial and impactful changes within their communities. The main goal is to enable individuals to participate in collaboration with others, establish interpersonal ties, and efficiently utilize information to tackle significant issues. As compensation, you will receive a visa, airfare, a monthly allowance, and assistance with health insurance. Here are further specifics on the Community Engagement Exchange (CEE) Program for the year 2025.
