Community Solutions Program 2022 in USA

As part of the Community Solutions Program 2022, enthusiastic professionals will have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills. Through the 2022 CSP, participants have an opportunity to work for the progress and betterment of their communities for a year. Furthermore, the leadership and exchange program in the USA provides an opportunity for participants from all over the world to have interactive sessions and to learn from each other.

-A fellowship in the IREX Community Solutions Program 2022 takes place in the United States for four months. As fellows, they are assigned to organizations throughout the country during these four months. This fully-funded exchange program provides fellows with an opportunity to broaden their vision and transform them into highly influential future leaders over the course of a full year. CSP fellows have made notable impacts on their communities in terms of gender equality, advocacy, climate preservation and peace, among a number of other positive contributions.

In its second year of operation, IREX has also announced its global fellowship program, funded by the United States federal government. In the United States, fellows take part in a program that is fully-funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The institute selects the most suitable participants, and from there provides specialized training and individual coaching. The fellows at CSP develop their management as well as leadership skills by participating in in-person and virtual training, receiving professional direction, and connecting with alumni.

Community Solutions Program initiatives are focused on helping communities lift themselves out of poverty. Through the CSP fellowship, fellows are equipped with the skills necessary to pursue community action programs when they return home. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Community Solutions Program. The success of today can be attributed to the effective and dynamic leadership of CSP.

Since founding this full-pay fellowship, the CSP has produced 748 fellows from 83 countries who have furthered community development in over 600,000 communities. IREX has 129 partners from 129 cities in the U.S. as part of its leadership program. Thus, this program provides international fellows with the most enriching and challenging experiences through the variety of tasks in which they are engaged.
