🎉 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 #yesabroad Jordan cohort recently invited their friends to a basketball activity to celebrate #america250. 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 #yesabroad ‘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!

All #yesabroad participants take part in an arrival orientation over the the first few weeks in their host country. In addition, to learning a new language, how to use public transportation, and all other ins and outs of being an exchange student in Indonesia. Recent #yesabroad arrivals, Hannah, Sela, and Phalha had the opportunity to dive into a popular Indonesian activity: pottery painting!

Now they will be ready when their host family and classmates invite them to go!
