The Professional Fellows Program affords promising young professionals the opportunity to gain practical experience in, and exposure to, United States government. The knowledge and interest of these young Eurasian professionals in American political processes and governance will be expanded through short-term fellowships in state legislatures and city halls across the United States, as well as non-profit organizations that address policy issues.
PFP goals are to:
- Strengthen understanding of the U.S. legislative and governance process;
- Enhance appreciation of the role of civil society plays in shaping public policy and holding government accountable;
- Create partnerships between institutions in the U.S. and Armenia; and
- Establish a common language to develop practical solutions for shared problems and concerns.
The PFP program provides round-trip international and domestic transportation, visa fee and processing costs, health and accident insurance, and a modest stipend. Housing and meals will be provided for program participants with U.S. host families.
