In recent years, LE programs were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine. By 2022, LE was able to return to in-person programming in many of the countries where we work and we remain committed to continuing to create opportunities for volunteers and communities. As always, we will prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of our volunteers and the communities we operate in. In the event of any health or safety developments, LE will follow guidance from the State Department, the national governments of our program countries, CDC, WHO, and other health advisory institutions around whether in-person programming is advisable. LE will monitor various factors to determine on a country-by-country basis whether in-person programming is feasible, and, if not, whether alternative programming is appropriate. We are committed to inform you with timely program updates in any changes to program plans are necessary.
