One summer in the U.S. can shape a lifetime. Through @StateDept’s #BridgeUSA program, young people gain real-world experience, strengthen American communities, and grow into global leaders. It’s more than an exchange—it’s a launchpad for changemakers like Ketevan and Vanesta.

30 for 30! 30 teens from the U.S. and Vietnam celebrated 30 years of diplomatic relations during a 3 week ECA Youth Leadership Program hosted by @LegacyIntl and @globaltieskc. Their relationships are emblematic of the strong people-to-people ties that bind our nations together.
