AMIDEAST is engaged in several innovative programs that target economically disadvantaged youth across the Middle East and North Africa, challenging them to develop their communications skills, learn new skills and expand their outlook on life. 

AMIDEAST believes that these programs are critical to advancing the broader goals of economic development and civil society in the region and is deeply committed to assisting these students to achieve greater personal, academic and professional success.
