Grant Description

The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the Youth Leadership Program with Sub-Saharan Africa. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to provide youth and adult participants with three-week exchanges focused on civic education, community service, and youth leadership development, and to support follow-on projects in their home communities. U.S. Embassies in the participating countries will recruit, screen, and select the participants. ECA anticipates awarding one or two cooperative agreements that will support approximately 100 participants from 10 countries. Exchanges for participants from Anglophone countries will be conducted in English, and exchanges for participants from Francophone countries will be conducted in French. The awards will be contingent upon the availability of FY-2011 funds.
