July 15 through 28, we'll be hosting 20 Iraqi youth and 3 adult mentors through the Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program (IYLEP). Rescheduled from Summer 2025, we're looking for families to open their homes for overnight hosting.

We are the only city that has hosted every iteration of this high school leadership program for emerging English speakers from Iraq, and we want to make it special. Hosting is a commitment, and a gift that families tend to remember for years.
