Opportunity Summary:

The Indonesia U.S. Youth Leadership Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), through its Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. It funds one organization to design and run a reciprocal youth exchange between Indonesia and the United States that brings together emerging youth leaders and adult mentors for an intensive three-week program in the partner country. The overall purpose is to strengthen civic engagement and leadership skills while building mutual understanding between Indonesians and Americans through structured, in-person exchange activities.

Under this competition, eligible applicants are U.S.-based public or private nonprofit organizations that meet the requirements of IRS 501(c)(3), as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The selected grantee is expected to recruit and select a cohort totaling roughly 24 to 34 participants drawn from both Indonesia and the United States, consisting of youth and accompanying adults. The exchange is designed to be reciprocal, meaning participants from each country travel to the other country and take part in a comparable program experience.

Program content is organized around a set of core civic themes: civic rights and responsibilities, leadership development, respect for diversity, and community activism. Within those broad areas, the exchange places a specific emphasis on environmental issues. In practice, that typically means participants engage in workshops, seminars, site visits, and community-based learning that connect environmental challenges to civic participation and local problem-solving. A central expectation is that the exchange experience will not end when travel concludes; activities should deliberately prepare participants to return home and carry out practical projects that address a real community need, using the leadership and civic skills developed during the program.

The opportunity was posted February 5, 2010, with an application closing date of March 31, 2010, and an archive date of April 1, 2010. The program anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $275,000 and an award ceiling of $275,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants must plan to contribute non-federal resources or secure partner support as part of the overall project budget.

This funding opportunity is listed under CFDA 19.415 (Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs, Citizen Exchanges). Applicants who cannot access the full announcement were directed to contact the program specialist, Hans Posey, at poseyhe@state.gov for assistance.
