Background
The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce the “Alumni Learning and Leading” program, that aims to contribute to the personal development of selected alumni by improving their soft skills and mentoring/coaching skills.

Selected alumni are expected to have a minimum commitment of 2-3 hours per week. This will enable the alumni to implement their action project as community service activities to give them practical experience and build their confidence.
