Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Summer Academy was a discretionary federal 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 sought a single grant recipient to design and run a four-week, U.S.-based summer academy taking place in July 2010. The academy was intended for up to 27 teenagers and was structured as a mixed cohort that brought together international and U.S. participants to learn side by side in an intensive, community-oriented setting.
The participant group was defined in advance: 17 students were foreign teenagers coming from multiple countries who had already been vetted, screened, and selected for an exchange program in the United States. Those students were to be joined by 10 American teenagers, who would be recruited and selected by the organization receiving the grant. In practical terms, the awardee would be responsible for designing a cohesive program that integrates these two groups, supports cross-cultural interaction, and creates meaningful opportunities for shared learning rather than keeping the groups separate.
Program content was centered on youth development and civic engagement. The academy's core themes included leadership development, critical thinking, communication skills, and community activism. Beyond classroom-style learning, the opportunity emphasized experiential exposure to U.S. culture and society. That exposure was expected to come through structured site visits and homestays with American families, suggesting that the program design needed to balance workshops and training sessions with community-based activities that give participants a close-up view of everyday American life and local civic institutions.
In terms of eligibility, applicants had to be public or private nonprofit organizations that meet the requirements of 26 USC 501(c)(3). Eligible entities explicitly included accredited U.S. postsecondary educational institutions, both public/state-controlled and private. The listing also referenced an "Others" category with additional eligibility details in the full announcement, but the core message was that qualified nonprofits and higher education institutions were the primary intended applicants.
Financially, ECA anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $140,000, and an award ceiling also listed at $140,000. The opportunity required cost sharing or matching, meaning the applicant needed to contribute its own resources or secure third-party support to cover part of the program costs, consistent with common ECA exchange program expectations. The assistance instrument type was a grant, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 19.415, which covers Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs (Citizen Exchanges).
The competition timeline was set with a posted date of February 17, 2010, and a proposal deadline (original and current closing date) of March 19, 2010. The opportunity was archived on March 20, 2010. For applicant support, ECA provided a contact point for access issues related to the full announcement: Hans Posey, Program Specialist, reachable at poseyhe@state.gov.
