The American Center at U.S. Embassy Dhaka is pleased to announce the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (K-L YES) Program for academic year 2017-18.
K-L YES is a high school exchange program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). The program is administered in Bangladesh by the International Education and Resource Network – Bangladesh (iEARN-BD), a non-profit organization, with the support of U.S. Embassy Dhaka.
