Comment by Bart Pogue on Friday: Dear Members of the NSLI-Y Group on ExchangesConnect,

As of the end of this month, ExchangesConnect will be moving to a new home: http://connect.state.gov/forum/topics/changes-coming-to-exchangesco... What this means for us is that after June 30, 2013, we will not be able to access the NSLI-Y group on ExchangesConnect.

In order for you to stay connected with NSLI-Y, we encourage you to like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/nsliforyouth.page and follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/NSLIY. NSLI-Y alumni can also request to join the official NSLI-Y alumni page on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/groups/nsliyalumni/.

Many of you are already connected with NSLI-Y on Facebook and Twitter. We welcome the newcomers to join in and stay connected with NSLI-Y!

Please let us know if you have any questions about this transition. Post your question on here/FB/Twitter, email us at nsliy@americancouncils.org, or call us at 1.866.790.2086.

Best,

Bart and the NSLI-Y Team

Comment by Bart Pogue on April 22, 2013 at 9:37am: @Chelsea, thanks for your question. All semifinalists will be notified of their final status for the 2013-14 NSLI-Y program. Notification will be sent by email and completed by the end of April. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Comment by Chelsea Christison on April 21, 2013 at 9:30pm: Have people already received their acceptance emails or whatever? Do they notify you if you were not picked to go?

Comment by Bart Pogue on April 10, 2013 at 4:33pm: @Jennifer, thanks for your questions. First of all, the safety and security of NSLI-Y participants is the most important consideration for all organizations and individuals involved with administering and delivering NSLI-Y programs. NSLI-Y administration works closely with the U.S. Department of State to determine program sites and placement organizations work closely with U.S. embassies in the host countries to ensure participants are provided safe environments for learning and living. For more information about how NSLI-Y cares for the safety and security of participants, check out this page on our website: http://www.nsliforyouth.org/for-parents/. For information provided from the U.S. Department of State about travel warnings for countries around the world, check out this website: http://www.travel.state.gov/. If you have more specific questions, please direct them to nsliy@americancouncils.org or 1.866.790.2086.

Comment by Chloe Peyton on April 10, 2013 at 2:35pm: Thank you so much for allowing me to have this opportunity! I will do my best! Thank you so very much!

Comment by Jennifer Wright on April 10, 2013 at 2:26pm: I have a few questions about the South Korean programs regarding the situation with North Korea. Before I state my questions I just want to affirm and make open that I love this program and if accepted it would be an honor. I mean no disrepect, nor do I hope that it is interpreted in a disrespectful tone.

My questions are: Will the students that are accepted into the Korean program year or summer be safe? When would the students be evacuated from South Korea, should the need arise? If an incident should happen before the departure date what will happen to those who are planned to go?

Again I mean no disrespect in any way. If I have offended you or anyone I am deeply sorry. Thank you for reading and possibly answering my question.

Comment by Abigail Arinder on April 5, 2013 at 6:56pm: Yes thanks!
