The Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) for Young Professionals

 

‘The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX) is a reciprocal exchange program between the United States and Germany, designed to strengthen ties and understanding between the people of both countries. The fellowship is annually awarded to 75 American and 75 German young professionals, and is funded by the German Bundestag and the U.S. Congress through the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). CBYX participants act as ambassadors of their home country and culture while immersing themselves in the academic, professional, and everyday life of their host culture.’

‘In addition, 75 German participants are selected each year personally by a Member of the German Bundestag, to complete a program of cultural immersion in communities throughout the United States. German participants live with an American host, spend one semester studying at a local college, and work for six months in the area of their placement.’
