Apply Now to Host International Development Leaders at Your Organization

Interested in hosting one of the world's best and brightest global community leaders? Community Solutions is now accepting Host Interest Forms from U.S. organizations through the end of April. 

To learn more, please visit our Community Solutions - Information for Host Organizations page or contact us directly at communitysolutions@irex.org.

Participants come from more than 50 countries and are working on pressing issues to help their communities in the following areas: 

• Tolerance & Conflict Resolution,
• Environmental Issues,
• Transparency & Accountability and
• Women & Gender Issues. 

Through the program, leaders bring years of experience to community development in the U.S. while strengthening their capacity for leadership and development in their home countries. Through tailored fellowships, leaders gain hands-on experience in community work; collaborate and learn best practices through an online leadership institute; and create action plans for community-based initiatives back home. Read more about some of our impressive past participants. 

If you are a U.S.-based organization (grassroots, non-profit, government agency) with ties to any of the above issues and are interested in hosting an international leader, please complete our short Host Interest Form now through April 30, 2013.
