gov The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the FY 2025 Youth Ambassadors Africa (YA – AF) program.
U.S. non-profit organizations may submit proposals to provide youth and adult mentors from countries in sub-Saharan Africa with a three-week exchange program in the United States focused on the primary themes of civic engagement and leadership development. U.S. embassies and consulates (here after referred to as posts) in sub-Saharan Africa will recruit, screen, and select the participants.
ECA funding will support the planning and implementation of U.S.-based programming, participant travel arrangements, including pre-departure domestic travel and international travel, as well as participant follow-on projects designed to share the benefits of the exchange in home communities.
Youth Ambassadors programs offer youth (typically between the ages of 15-18) and adult mentors the opportunity to examine civic engagement and leadership development through short-term exchanges in the United States.
YA-AF should offer participants from countries in sub-Saharan Africa the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities such as, but not limited to, workshops on civic education, community site visits related to the program themes, and homestays with American families. Upon return home, participants should apply what they have learned to implement projects that serve their communities.
Multiple opportunities for participants to interact meaningfully with their U.S. peers must be included. Please see the full announcement for contact information and additional details. Note that this opportunity cannot be submitted through MyGrants and may only be submitted through Grants.
