🎉 Welcome Home 🎉

This June, American YES Abroad participants returned home from their year abroad, stopping in Washington, DC to mark the end of their exchange experiences. These future leaders reflected on a year of growth--sharing about America and building lasting ties in communities in 11 countries—while presenting at the U.S. Department of State and with their representatives on Capitol Hill.
Congrats to the 2025–2026 cohort!

The Jordan cohort recently invited their friends to a basketball activity to celebrate . They started by explaining the importance of basketball in American culture, led stretching exercises, and then played a game. Basketball has spread across the globe, but the history and cultural significance isn’t always known. Everyone had a great time and hopefully, learned something new!

What is a classic American dessert that people love to make and eat? If you ask Zuber, an American ‘24-‘25 participant in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he would say good old fashioned apple pie!

During his year abroad, Zuber took the opportunity to share one of his favorite desserts from back home, teaching his host family how to make it. Nothing is sweeter than spending time with family and making memories together- not even apple pie!
