Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program
Civic Education Workshop: Essays
Each year, students participating in the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX)
program are invited to meet with Washington leaders during a week-long
Civic Education Workshop. The Civic Education Workshop enables participants
to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of democratic concepts
such as civic responsibility, citizen empowerment, volunteerism, and
community action. The students win their places to the Civic Education
Workshop through participation in an essay contest. This year,
students were asked to write about volunteerism and how their volunteer
experiences will help them when they return to their home countries.
Some of the winning essays are presented below.
