Global Engagement is seeking families to provide home-hosted dinners for the 2022 Mandela Washington Fellows
The Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders is the flagship program of the U.S. Government’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI). The Fellows, between the ages of 25 and 35, are accomplished innovators and leaders in their communities and countries. Drake University is proud to host 25 Fellows from across sub-Saharan Africa for a six-week program June 8–July 17, 2022.
A key component of the program is home-hosted dinners, which provides a great opportunity to welcome the Fellows to Des Moines and showcase our amazing, supportive Drake community! We are seeking home hosts for 1-5 Fellows on the following dates. Home hosts will be asked to pick up their Fellow(s) from Drake West Village at 6 p.m., have dinner together, and drop them back off later that evening.
- Sunday, June 19th
- Sunday, June 26th
- Thursday, June 30th
Please complete this brief Qualtrics form if you are interested in being a home host family!
