Help Our Homeland and the Mansfield Center of The University of Montana seeks female applicants for a program sponsored by the U.S. Embassy.  The Women’s Empowerment Program will focus on the unique interests of women in issues that affect the broader society, including business, civil society, and journalism. Participants will represent women-owned businesses, non-governmental organizations, healthcare industries, and educational institutions.

During their five-week programs in the United States, participants will gain firsthand knowledge of how organizations and institutions advocate on behalf of women and their critical role in community advancement, while also participating in site visits and specially-designed seminars.  The participants will spend approximately one month in the state of Montana and one week in Washington, D.C.

Cambodian participants will also be asked to host a U.S. participant at their place of work. That individual will be selected from among your hosts during your U.S. stay. These American participants will travel overseas to engage with you and your counterparts on the role of women in your country.
