Man, this is aging me badly 😆 I was part of the first group to represent Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 & my love story with Michigan began here! Being a YES-YFU student in 2010/2011 was a rich experience that helped shape the man I am becoming!
Thank you @yesprogramnews @yfu #hostingmatters

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of @yesprogramnews, which laid the foundation for the inception of Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Abroad (YES Abroad), program staff had the opportunity to speak with YES Abroad alumni Shruthi Venkata and Maxwell Myers. These distinguished #ExchangeAlumni have seen their careers and perspectives profoundly influenced by their overseas experiences with #YESAbroad.

FLEX and YES alumni collaborated to organize campaigns dedicated to free speech throughout their cities. Drawing inspiration from the international free speech organization #Loesje, which uses creative posters to encourage critical thinking and reflection on global events and societal issues, the alumni distributed thought-provoking prompts and quotes.
