Southeast Asia Youth Leadership Program in Thailand

Deadline: 7-Jan-22

Secondary school students from Thailand are invited to apply for participation in the Southeast Asia Youth Leadership Program (SEAYLP).

The program will host 50 to 60 participants from ten countries in Southeast Asia that are members of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). There will be five students selected to represent Thailand.

The program will feature interactive workshops and sessions, including site visits to community organizations. Through engagement with U.S. high schools, community organizations, youth groups, and community leaders, student and adult mentor participants will explore challenges facing the U.S. and ASEAN in the 21st century.

The program will be intensive, academic, and highly interactive. The program sponsors seek energetic applicants who are ready to develop their skills in order to be effective leaders in their schools and communities.

The program convenes high school students from ten ASEAN member countries for a three-week exchange program focused on leadership and youth development and to explore shared challenges faced by the United States and ASEAN member countries. These challenges are explored through the three pillars of the ASEAN community: political and security cooperation, economic skills-building (through the exchange’s project development), and socio-cultural leadership (through hands-on activities, workshops, seminars, and site visits to foster greater communication). Participants will develop projects to address the needs of their communities upon their return home.
