2 New Exchange Opportunities for Students
Posted on September 16, 2019
Know any young adults interested in meeting their global peers? We have two new opportunities to share, courtesy of our friends at NCteachmideast:
- Virtual Exchange NaTakallam partners with schools to bring real-life conversations, language learning, and cultural exchange to the classroom. Students work with Conversation Partners (CPs)—all of them individuals who have fled war zones—improving their speaking skills and learning about their partner’s culture and story. Scholarships available! Contact [email protected] or sign up today.
- The National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) is a U.S. government-sponsored study-abroad program aiming "to provide opportunities to American youth that will spark a lifetime interest in foreign languages and cultures." Languages offered include Mandarin, Arabic, Persian, and Russian -- all of which also appear on this website! To learn more, visit www.nsliforyouth.org or go directly to the 2020-2021 application. (Ignore the note saying the application is closed -- it refers to 2019-2020.)
