Kennedy-Lugar YES Abroad Alumni

Who Are YES Alumni?

YES Abroad students who return from their exchange years become part of a global network of over 15,000 YES and YES Abroad alumni, and one million alumni of U.S. Department of State sponsored programs.

Opportunities available to alumni aim to expand on what YES Abroad students have learned about volunteerism, community service, and citizen responsibility during their exchange year. The YES alumni network seeks to continue engaging returned students to build a worldwide YES community.
