Launched in 2005 by the Department of State, the A-SMYLE program is financed through the Support for East European Democracy (SEED) Act. Students take part in community service, civic education, and leadership development activities during their academic year in the US, and participate in alumni activities as they apply their experiences in the United States to their lives at home. Funding is provided through the Support for East European Democracy (SEED) Act.

The program is administered by American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS. American Councils is partnering with Civic Initiatives in Serbia and Montenegro and with World Link and the Council on International Educational Exchange in the United States.
