U.S. Congress – Republic of Korea National Assembly Exchange Program

Jointly funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Republic of Korea National Assembly, this unique program brings together young professionals and students from both the U.S. and Korea for a memorable and educational opportunity. Since its inception over 30 years ago, the U.S. Congress - Republic of Korea National Assembly Exchange Program has allowed over 500 participants to build lasting cross-border relationships and better understand the legislative process; the history of U.S. - Korean relations; and current economic, political, and security aspects of the bilateral relationship. Meridian has had the privilege of implementing this program for over 20 years and has worked to engage a cross-sector cohort of partners that enrich the program experience.
