Opportunity Summary:
The Jovenes en Accion (Youth in Action) Program is a U.S. Department of State exchange initiative run through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. The opportunity invites eligible organizations to propose and operate a summer exchange program in the United States for Mexican high school students. The core purpose is to expose students to civic education, community service, and youth leadership development through a structured 4 to 5 week experience, and then to help them carry that learning back home by supporting the design and implementation of service projects in their own communities in Mexico. The program is described as a joint initiative supported by the U.S. Department of State, the Mexican government, and private sector partners, with ECA funds focused specifically on the U.S.-based portion of the exchange.
Under this competition, the selected awardee would be responsible for hosting and running two separate summer exchanges, one planned for summer 2013 and another for summer 2014. The announcement anticipates about 35 participants per exchange year supported by ECA funding, but it also notes that the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City expects additional resources that could increase participation to as many as 80 students each year. Because of that, applicants are expected to describe their capacity and operational plan to handle a program of up to 80 students annually, even though the baseline described is lower. Participant recruitment, screening, and selection would not be handled by the grantee; instead, the U.S. Embassy Mexico City (or an entity it designates) will take the lead on selecting the students who will participate.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the funding agency in program implementation (for example, coordination on program design elements, reporting, oversight, or required approvals). The funding opportunity is discretionary and falls under CFDA 19.415 (Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs - Citizen Exchanges). The government expected to make one award under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000 and an award ceiling of $350,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the applicant must contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) consistent with the full announcement requirements.
Eligibility is open primarily to U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (with language indicating eligibility beyond institutions of higher education), and the listing also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on March 29, 2012, with a closing date of May 17, 2012, and it was archived on May 18, 2012.
