Grant Description

The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for Jяvenes en Acciяn (Youth in Action), an exchange program for Mexican high school students. 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 participants with a four- to five-week summer exchange program in the United States focused on civic education, community service, and youth leadership development and to support the implementation of service projects in their home communities. This program will be funded as a joint initiative between the U.S. Department of State, the Mexican government, and the private sector. U.S. Embassy Mexico City (and/or an organization of its choosing) will recruit, screen, and select the participants. ECA funding will support U.S.-based activities for two exchanges for approximately 35 participants each year; one will take place during summer 2013 and the second will take place during summer 2014. U.S. Embassy Mexico City anticipates additional funding to increase the total number of participants to 80 students each year; proposals should indicate the applicantтs ability in hosting up to 80 students each year.
