The Institute includes face-to-face trainings, online courses, professional coaching, and networking.
• Community-based initiatives: While in the U.S. and with the support of their U.S. host organization, Community Solutions fellows design and plan a community development initiative or project to carry out after they return home. Once the fellows depart the U.S., they put these projects into action in their home communities.

• J-1 visa support
