FLEX Alumni
The FLEX Program does not end with the end of the academic year, but continues after the students return home! They come back full of enthusiasm and inspired by new ideas. Although many focus their attention on completing their studies, they manage to take the time to get actively involved as graduates. The experiences lived and the process of self-knowledge during the FLEX year are combined with a new appreciation and dedication to their countries of origin.
Launched in 1993, the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program has provided scholarships to more than 30,000 high school students in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
FLEX graduates are part of a strong international network, supported by the FLEX Alumni community, which provides grants and professional development opportunities. Today, they work in various fields, including government, business, nonprofits, education, and journalism.
In Romania, the community has over 200 FLEX graduates, part of the global network of the Future Leaders Exchange Program.

After only a month and a bit in the United States, I never thought I would learn so much. Every day is a new adventure that is constantly changing my life. On August 7, I started high school, a completely different and welcoming place. It's a pleasure to go to school, the teachers are brilliant and it's easy to make friends!
It wasn't so easy to settle in, but now I love my life here. The host family is wonderful, we have already taken a few trips together, one of them being to Los Angeles itself.
Last weekend, my placement organization invited us to an orientation camp where we learned a lot about the program and how to make the most of the experience, met people from all over the world and had activities together such as high altitude trails and campfires. The people here are wonderful and the places look like a dream come true... I'm grateful for every second!
It's everything I could have wished for!
I highly recommend you apply to FLEX without a second thought! One small decision can change your life, anything is possible!!!

Hello from Alaska,
I'm very happy to be here! I had the opportunity to meet many people. Everyone is very friendly and ready to help!
I had a lot to say about Romania. The first days I made mămăligă and gave them Romanian ii! They enjoyed it!
Also, in Sitka, the view is gorgeous, the ocean and the mountains all together!
Thank you for this opportunity!
