The U.S. Embassy in Armenia and the Ministry of Education and Science
Commemorate 20 Years of the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program
On April 26, 2013, The U.S. Embassy in Armenia, the Armenian Ministry
of Science and Education, American Councils and program alumni
commemorated the 20-year anniversary of the Future Leaders Exchange
(FLEX) Program at the U.S. Embassy. U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John
Heffern and Armenian Deputy Minister of Science and Education Karine
Harutyunyan delivered keynote remarks.
During the over twenty year bilateral relationship between Armenia and
the United States, 821 high school students from all corners of
Armenia have studied in cities and towns throughout the United States.
This program is an example of the strong educational partnership that
has flourished between the two countries, and the FLEX alumni have had
great success in Armenia upon their return.
Established by the U.S. Congress in 1992, the FLEX program encourages
long-lasting peace and mutual understanding between the United States
and countries of Eurasia. In Armenia, the program is administered by
American Councils. The program provides opportunities for high school
students (ages 15-17) to spend a year in the United States, living
with a host family and attending an American high school. Program
alumni from Armenia have become leaders in local government,
international organizations, civil society, and business.
