Community Solutions Program

Mission Statement

The Community Solutions Program provides the best and brightest community leaders from around the world with an intensive, year-long, professional development program that includes a substantive hands-on learning experience in the United States. Community Solutions leaders work in one of four technical areas -- Transparency and Accountability, Tolerance and Conflict Resolution, Environmental Issues, and Women and Gender Issues. Through tailored fellowships and the Community Leadership Institute, leaders gain valuable experience in U.S.-based community work; increase skills and knowledge, strengthen their capacity for leadership and development in their home countries; bring years of experience to community development in the United States, and create action for community-based initiatives back home.
