2. The Community Solutions Program is a professional development program for the best and brightest global

Individual countries – no matter what the level of development they have achieved – need to meet their
contemporary challenges both locally and globally. While solutions to many problems can be found on the global
stage (e.g., best practices in economic, environmental, and social programming), these problems can only truly
be addressed at the country- and even community-level. Such a dynamic demands educated and capable
community and civic leaders who can motivate and inspire others to action. Countries in transition need civic and
community leaders who not only possess a vision for change, but also have the practical skills and networks that
can help move their societies forward.

developing leadership and organizational management skills that complement their community placements
