American Councils for International Education established The Generation FLEX Russia Alumni Fund in 2010 to offer FLEX alumni and other supporters the opportunity to contribute to alumni-initiated local projects in Russia. The fund offers alumni a way to stay connected to the program’s continued growth and success and to support volunteer initiatives, which are at the heart of the alumni program.
As of October 2012, alumni have contributed almost $4,000 to the fund. Donors were invited to vote on which projects to fund, and selected three: Children’s Smiles Dental Hygiene Project in Tomsk, Siberia; A Healthy Spirit in a Healthy Body Playground Project in Izhevsk; and Mr. English Lessons Project for Orphan Teens in St. Petersburg.
Country: Russia
Alumni of American Councils' cultural and academic exchanges return to their home countries ready to make a difference. But they need your support.
They've teamed up with American Councils and local organizations to identify small projects with big impacts. We invite you to browse through these alumni projects. If you choose to donate, know that American Councils passes all of your donation (minus only credit card processing fees) onto the recipients.
