Young Hispanic Leader Program In Spain!

The annual Young Hispanic Leaders Program offers an exciting opportunity for U.S. citizens of Hispanic origin with ages between 28 and 38 and good knowledge of Spanish. The program was founded in 1998 at the initiative of the U.S.-Spain Council (a private forum to enhance relations between the two countries). It is sponsored by the Fundación Carolina, the Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo, and the collaboration of the Fundación José Ortega y Gasset. The objective of this program is to expose future Hispanic leaders from the United States to Spain’s political, economic, social and cultural environment. Since its founding, close to 150 young U.S. citizens of Hispanic origin have been chosen in a competitive selection process to participate in this program. This year the program will take place from June 13 – 21. If interested, please visit http://www.joveneslidereshispanos.com/.
