The program that I'm participating in is called Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals. It is a fellowship program designed to allow individuals age 18-24 to live in Germany for a year and essentially act as citizen ambassadors. The program is jointly funded by the U.S congress and the Bundestag (The German parliament). The Department of the State plays a large role in the program, as they issue a grant that allows for the program to be run by Cultural Vistas based out of New York City. During the program there are 3 phases: Language training, University, and Internship. All of these phases are designed to allow participants to experience life in Germany firsthand, and in turn, connect with as many individuals as possible. The program's potential really lies in the hand of the participant, and the program will become what the individual makes of it
