Opportunity Summary:
The American Youth Leadership Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically through the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. The program is designed to fund organizations that can run a short-term international exchange that sends American high school students and educators abroad for an immersive experience centered on cultural understanding and practical collaboration on global challenges. The core idea is to give participants firsthand exposure to foreign cultures while building their capacity to engage in thoughtful dialogue, exercise leadership, and contribute through service.
Under this opportunity, funded organizations are expected to recruit and select youth and adult participants from across the United States and deliver a three- to four-week program in another country. The exchange is structured around dialogue and debate, leadership development, and community service, suggesting a mix of facilitated discussions, skills-building workshops, and hands-on projects that connect participants with local communities overseas. A key feature is the emphasis on applying the experience after returning to the United States: students are expected to bring what they learned back to their schools and communities, translating the international experience into ongoing civic engagement and local impact.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that meet specific criteria. Applicants may include public and private nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), as well as private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants must plan to contribute resources beyond the federal funds, either through cash or allowable in-kind support, consistent with the full program rules.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $2,084,000 available for this competition, with an expectation of making about 8 awards. Individual awards are projected to range from $200,000 (floor) to $500,000 (ceiling), depending on the scope and design of the proposed exchange program. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA number 19.415, Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs - Citizen Exchanges, and uses a grant as the funding instrument.
