Programs We Host
 

 YSEALI : Young Southeast Asian Leadership Initiative

YSEALI/PFP is a U.S. Department of State initiative. This too is a month-long homestay within the community in a family home.  This individual works with businesses or other mentors for one month. It is, in effect, an immersion in entrepreneurship.  It is focused on business, agriculture, and more.  There is a reciprocal exchange with the mentor if the project developed is chosen.

​

Several of our Fellowship hosts have been chosen as a reciprocal programming recipient.  This means they were able to travel to their Fellow’s country to help set up a special project developed while in Arkansas.​​
