Submission – U.S. Department of State – U.S. - Indonesia Youth Leadership
Program and Youth Leadership Program with Burma;
February 11, 2013
The
Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for two
distinct Youth Leadership Programs with Indonesia and Burma. Organizations
may submit proposals to conduct three- to four-week U.S.-based exchange
programs for teenagers and adult educators. Participants will be
high-school-aged youth and adult educators. The program with Indonesia is a
two-way exchange; applicants must propose both an exchange for Indonesian
participants in the United States and an exchange for American participants in
Indonesia. Applicants should plan to recruit and select between 24 and 34 youth
and adult participants total in Indonesia and in the United States. The new
program with Burma is a one-way exchange; applicants should plan to provide
U.S.-based programming for 16-20 youth and adult participants from Burma. The
activities for each program will focus on civic education, leadership,
diversity, and community engagement and prepare participants to conduct
projects at home that serve a community need. Pending the availability of
funds, it is the Bureau’s intent to award two cooperative agreements: (1)
$275,000 for Indonesia, and (2) $110,000 for Burma, each for one base year plus
two option years.
