Deadline: Feb. 13, 2020
“The On-Demand Youth Leadership Program supports U.S. foreign policy goals by empowering the U.S. Department of State to respond quickly to evolving priorities. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to implement two separate three-week exchanges in the United States. Applicants may submit only one proposal under this competition. If multiple proposals are received from the same applicant, all submissions will be declared ineligible and receive no further consideration in the review process. Proposals should illustrate the organization’s extent of experience working in different regions of the world, demonstrating flexibility and originality in programming. Proposals should include actual examples in which the organization has responded quickly to fast changing circumstances in a region or country where they had not previously worked.
The On-Demand Youth Leadership Program provides exchanges in the United States for international high school students ages 15-18 and adult educators or community leaders from countries and regions identified as U.S. Department of State 2 priorities. Exchange activities will focus on civic education, community service, respect for diversity, and youth leadership development. Secondary themes on issues of global or regional relevance may be added by the embassy. Applicants must indicate their capacity to program an exchange at varying points during the award period. Participants will engage in a variety of activities such as workshops on leadership and service, community site visits related to program themes and subthemes, interactive training and discussion groups, presentations, visits to high schools, local cultural activities, homestays, and other activities designed to achieve the program’s stated goals. The exchanges must include multiple opportunities for participants to interact meaningfully with their American peers. Follow-on activities with the participants are an essential part of the program, and the exchange activities should prepare participants to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired by planning action projects in their home communities.”
