Arab American Family Services had the pleasure of being part of the U.S. Department of State International Visitor Leadership Program.
The topic discussed was Anti-Radicalization & Combating Violent Extremism Among Youth for Community Organizations: A Project for Canada.
The objectives for the program was to learn about current work being done in the U.S. with youth organizations and the community groups with youth susceptible to radicalization.
