Grant Description

The Office of Citizen Exchanges of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs invites proposal submissions for the FY 2011 Young Turkey / Young America Program: A New Relationship for a New Age. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct this professional fellowship program. The Young Turkey / Young America Program was first announced by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Ankara on March 7, 2009, as part of an ongoing commitment to strengthen U.S. Turkish relations. Turkish Young Turkey / Young America provides opportunities for young leaders, ages 24-35, in Turkey and the United States to advance critical dialogue, identify shared concerns, and develop grassroots initiatives that positively impact people‟s lives resulting in stronger ties between the two nations. Since the start of the initiative in 2009, more than 79 young Turkish and American leaders have engaged in substantive dialogue and collaborative projects addressing economic, environmental, social, and political issues facing both countries.
