Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program for High School Students
The U. S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to develop and implement the 2015-2017 Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program (IYLEP) for High School Students.
The goal of IYLEP is to cultivate future generations of Iraqi leaders by providing Iraqi high school students exposure to leadership skills, civic education and responsibility, diversity awareness and tolerance, and the values of civic engagement.
Proposals should include a U.S.-based exchange component and explain how program activities will promote mutual understanding between American and Iraqi youth.
IYLEP advances the goals of the 2008 Strategic Framework Agreement between the United States and the Republic of Iraq.
Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award one cooperative agreement for up to $1,500,000 to carry out IYLEP for High School Students.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
