On Wednesday, July 27, Public Affairs Officer Angela Aggeler hosted a large reception for high school students from Macedonia who are about to depart for the United States on a year-long high school exchange program.
The program is called YES -- The Youth Exchange and Study program -- and is supported directly by the U.S. State Department.
YES was established in 2002 to provide scholarships for high school students from around the world to spend an academic year in the United States. Macedonia joined the program in 2009.
Students live with host families, attend high school, engage in activities to learn about American society and values, and help educate Americans about their own countries and cultures.
Also invited were the students' parents, and other students who had recently returned from their year in the United States on the same program.
Chargé d'Affaires Brian C. Aggeler welcomed the students and wished them luck during their upcoming year in the U.S.
The students were very excited that they would have the chance to spend a year in the U.S., meeting new friends and increasing their understanding about the diverse cultures there. They also looked forward to being "ambassadors" for Macedonia.
Parents were proud of their children for winning such a prestigious scholarship and excited for their future adventures.
Upon their return home, students can apply their new leadership skills in their home countries. Many students become involved in community service activities, such as holding clothing drives, working with children with disabilities, mentoring younger children, and teaching English.
The YES scholarship program is fully funded by the United States Government. The program is supported at the local level by U.S. citizens and secondary schools, which host, educate and support students with no financial compensation.
Selection, orientation and travel arrangements for the YES program are organized by the American Councils for International Education, a not-for-profit organization leading the development and exchange of knowledge between the U.S. and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, and the Balkans.
