**We continue to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 on IYLEP (Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Programs) and the travel industry. As such, we are currently planning for in-person exchanges for summer 2022. Given the changing nature of the pandemic, programs may need to pivot to virtual exchanges. Regardless of the format we will offer programs in 2022 and will post updates as available.**
***2020 and 2021 Virtual IYLEP Program participants are ineligible to reapply for in-person high school programs. However, Summer 2021 digital IYLEP participants are now eligible to apply for only the in-person IYLEP Undergraduate exchange moving forward as long as all eligibility requirements are still met. IYLEP Undergraduate digital participants (ages 21 and up) are eligible for the in-person Adult Mentor role for IYLEP High School.***
