Opportunity Summary:
The Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Civic Education Workshop grant opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. It is a discretionary grant competition to select one organization to design and run a one-week civic education workshop in Washington, D.C. during Spring 2008. The workshop is meant to complement the academic-year FLEX exchange experience by giving participating students a focused, practical introduction to democratic principles and the building blocks of civil society, with an emphasis on skills and tools they can take back home and use as emerging leaders.
The target audience for the workshop is approximately 110 high school FLEX students drawn from 11 Eurasian countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. These students are already in the United States for the 2007-2008 academic year as part of the broader FLEX program (about 1,100 students total). Workshop attendees are not chosen directly by the grantee; instead, they are selected through an essay contest from within that larger FLEX cohort. The successful applicant, therefore, is expected to build a program structure that can effectively serve a diverse, multinational group of students who arrive with varying experiences and perspectives on civic participation and democratic governance.
Eligible applicants include U.S. public and private nonprofit organizations that meet federal nonprofit requirements, including 501(c)(3) organizations, as well as public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. The competition anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $178,000, which also functions as the award ceiling. A cost-sharing or matching component is required, and proposals are expected to maximize cost sharing through private-sector support and direct institutional contributions, indicating that applicants should plan to leverage external partners, in-kind contributions, or other non-federal resources to strengthen the program and stretch federal dollars.
The funding opportunity number is ECA PE C PY 08 03, and the application timeline reflects a posting date of November 9, 2007 with a closing deadline of January 3, 2008 (archived January 4, 2008). The activity category is listed as "Other" with further clarification referenced in the full announcement, and the CFDA field is noted as 00.000 (not elsewhere classified), which often appears when a program does not map neatly onto a single standard assistance listing. For applicants needing access to the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Hans Posey, Program Specialist, at poseyhe@state.gov.
