The PLUS program is designed to reach a broader sector of
college-age youth from diverse backgrounds in the Middle East and North
Africa and provide them with a greater understanding of U.S.
institutions, society and culture.
In the summer of 2005 two Moroccan students took
internships in the Washington, DC area and were hosted by members of
Friends of Morocco. During the winter break nine students took
internships in Washington, DC and again some were hosted by members of
Friends of Morocco.
