Founded in 1951, Amideast is a leading American nonprofit organization engaged in international education, training, and development activities in the Middle East and North Africa. We believe that self-forged, fulfilled lives lead to understanding, mutual respect, and a more peaceful, productive world.

The Stevens Initiative is an international effort to build global competence and career readiness skills for young people in the United States and the Middle East and North Africa by growing and enhancing the field of virtual exchange. It is a lasting tribute to Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, a public servant who dedicated himself to building understanding between people from different countries. The Stevens Initiative is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by the Aspen Institute. It is also supported by the Bezos Family Foundation and the governments of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.


Inspiring academic and professional excellence is at the heart of our mission. We pride ourselves in our ability to inspire and prepare the next generation of professional Afghans for challenging careers.

Over 20,000 alumni, 500+ graduates as recipients of Fulbright, Chevening, JICA, and other competitive scholarships, 4,000+ current students, and a forward-looking team of faculty and administrative staff.
