2026 cohort of USYC launched
KATHMANDU:- The US Embassy in Nepal hosted the launch session for the new 2026 cohort of USYC Nepal, a talented group of 55 young leaders selected from more than 1,600 applicants across Nepal, on Friday.
Chargé d’Affaires Scott Urbom congratulated the participants and highlighted the important role these leaders will play in driving innovation, economic growth, and positive change in their communities.
During their one-year tenure, cohort members will also build leadership skills, connect with peers and industry experts, and prepare for future opportunities to benefit Nepal.
“As the United States marks 250 years of independence, programmes like USYC Nepal demonstrate our longstanding commitment to working with Nepal’s newest leaders across a wide range of professional fields,” the Embassy said in a statement.
It further added that a more prosperous Nepal creates new opportunities for trade, innovation, and long-term cooperation that benefit both the United States and Nepal.
