Since September 03 Narmin Huseynzada, the Executive director of EPSAYA public union is in the State of Arizona, US as a community leader of “The Youth Leadership Program with Azerbaijan (YLP)”. The program is conducted by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the US. Note that YLP is a short-term cultural and educational exchange program focused on expanding relationships between U.S. and Azerbaijani students, educators, and communities from differing ethnic, religious, and social groups and strengthening ties between the two countries. Program activities will inspire youth participants with a sense of civic responsibility and a commitment to community service. The program will seek to develop a group of community organizers who will share their knowledge and skills with their peers at home as they work toward common societal goals and interests.

In addition program organizers will develop comprehensive agendas centered on the theme of social entrepreneurship for youth. Participants from each country will be exposed to one another’s history, language, and culture through program activities, and will interact with host country peers. Participants will be encouraged to implement projects that serve a community need and share what they learned on-program upon returning home.
