The American Me- an Exchange Student's Story -Â The students will share stories of their exchange experience here in the U.S. These students are a part of The Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program which was established by Congress in October 2002 in response to the events of September 11, 2001. The program is funded through the U.S. Department of State and sponsored by the Bureau of Educational & Cultural Affairs (ECA) to provide scholarships for high school students from countries with significant Muslim populations to spend up to one academic year in the United States.This cultural exchange allows these students to experience American family life first hand.
