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. 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 two or more separate threeп to four-week group exchanges in the United States for teenage and adult participants. Activities will focus on civic education, community service, and youth leadership development and will prepare participants to complete follow-on projects in their home communities. U.S. Embassies in the participating countries will recruit, screen, and select the participants. The successful applicant will provide flexible programming and work with ECA and U.S. Embassies as they identify the participating countries in response to emerging circumstances requiring U.S. engagement. ECA intends to award up to two cooperative agreements for this program.
