U.S.-Poland Parliamentary Youth Exchange Program (US-PPYX)

Initiated by Senator Richard Lugar in 2008 to celebrate 90 years of U.S.-Polish diplomatic relations, the U.S.-Poland program is in the process of expanding from a four-week short term program to an academic year exchange program.

The program aims to provide U.S. and Polish youth with the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge and a deeper understanding of each country’s history and culture. The program promotes the establishment of enduring ties with peers from other countries while exploring the vital commonalities of education, politics, and culture.
