Opportunity Summary:
Promote Literacy for Youth in Conflict (Funding Opportunity Number: INL 16GR0034 WHPELSALVADOR 05032016) is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL), under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category (CFDA 19.703). Posted on May 3, 2016, and created the same day, the solicitation set a submission deadline of July 1, 2016.
The purpose of the grant is to develop and implement a program aimed at reducing juvenile gang participation while also strengthening literacy and technology skills among youth living in conflict-affected environments. The program concept is explicitly meant to build on the prior success of the "Soy Autor" program, suggesting applicants should draw from proven approaches, methods, or lessons learned from that earlier initiative rather than starting from scratch. In practical terms, the solicitation is centered on prevention and positive youth development: steering at-risk or justice-involved young people away from gangs by offering constructive alternatives that improve reading and writing ability, expand digital or technological competency, and support longer-term educational and social outcomes.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $60,000. The opportunity listing indicates expected awards were not specified in the provided data, so applicants would typically need to design a project scope that fits within the $60,000 maximum and is realistic to deliver within the grant period described in the full announcement.
Overall, this opportunity reflects a programmatic focus on combining public safety goals with educational and skills-based interventions for vulnerable youth. By linking gang prevention with literacy and technology training, it encourages proposals that address both immediate risk factors (such as recruitment into gangs) and underlying barriers that limit youth opportunity (such as low literacy and limited access to practical digital skills).
