- Encourage Ugandan youth to participate in civic life through social entrepreneurship, volunteerism, and community engagement.
- Strengthen understanding of U.S. values and institutions; highlight U.S. culture, including American Studies; and support diversity, acceptance of minority groups, and other areas of mutual interest.
- Demonstrate the power of the arts to promote positive self-expression, social change, and economic opportunity.
- Promote the application of new technologies to address economic, environmental, and social challenges of shared concern.
