The Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) was established in 1992 as the centerpiece of the NIS Secondary School Initiative with FREEDOM Support Act funding from the State Department and USAID. Its goal is to provide an opportunity for high school students from the countries of the former Soviet Union to experience life in a democratic society in order to promote democratic values and institutions in Eurasia.
Over 14,000 students from the former Soviet Union have spent one academic year attending schools and living with host families throughout the United States. The recruitment and selection process for this program is conducted by the American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS. American Councils also provides cross-cultural materials, such as a Cultural Handbook, and serves as a liaison between the students and their families in their home countries.The foremost goals of the FLEX program are to provide an introduction to civil society, and to foster mutual understanding and appreciation. All alumni supported this goal through their dayto-day experiences in their host families, their interaction and participation in their communities and schools, and the presentations that they made about their home countries. this by giving to talented and motivated individuals the opportunity to have significant experiences in the United States and then to return home to apply their new-found knowledge and understanding. The alumni learn both positive and negative things about life in the United States and acquire a more balanced and tempered view of the culture, of the market economy, and of how democracy and civil society works. Goal 1: FLEX students will acquire an understanding of the important elements of civil society, including concepts such as volunteerism, the idea that American citizens can and do act on their own to deal with societal problems, and an awareness of and respect for the rule of law. Goal 2: FLEX students will show willingness and commitment to serve as agents for change in their countries after they return home. Goal 3: FLEX students will develop an appreciation for American culture. Goal 4: FLEX students will interact with Americans and generate enduring ties. Goal 5: FLEX students will teach Americans about the cultures of their home countries and teach citizens of their home countries about the United States. Countries participating in the FLEX program include:Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine.
