PSU's Center for Public Service is hosting 22 YSEALI fellows each year from 2022 through 2025, in partnership with the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and Arizona State University (ASU). CPS's YSEALI program focuses on the theme of Civic Engagement, providing fellows with the opportunity to learn tools and skills for engaging with community members and applying these skills in their respective communities to address social issues. 

What is YSEALI?

Launched in 2013 by President Barack Obama, and the U.S. State Department’s signature educational and cultural exchange program in order to build the leadership capabilities of young professionals in the region, strengthen ties between the U.S. and Southeast Asia and promote collaboration in the ASEAN community.

Why YSEALI? 

Approximately 65% of people in the ASEAN region are under the age of 35. YSEALI is an effort to harness the extraordinary potential of youth in the region to address critical challenges and expand opportunities.

Who is YSEALI? 

Brilliant young leaders from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma or Myanmar, Philippines, Laos, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam who are making a difference in their communities, countries, and the region.
