FLEX Global does not end when the academic year comes to a close – far from it! Students will return home, excited and brimming with new ideas, and be welcomed into the U.S. government exchange alumni community. After spending an academic year in the United States living with an American host family, attending high school, and taking part in the life of their host community, alumni will return home with a new set of leadership skills and a firsthand understanding of and appreciation for U.S. culture. Their lifelong connections to their American families and friends often launch them into a network of young leaders as they pursue their studies and professional careers.
