Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. - Poland Parliamentary Youth Exchange Leadership Program was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, through its Office of Citizen Exchanges (Youth Programs Division). The program invited qualified organizations to propose and run a three- to four-week exchange during the 2008-2009 academic year, with a preference for an early 2009 winter session. The core purpose of the exchange was to strengthen civic education and leadership skills through a structured, binational youth program connecting participants from the United States and Poland.
The exchange was designed for a total cohort of 34 participants: 15 secondary school students and 2 educators from Poland, and 15 secondary school students and 2 educators from the United States. In practice, the grant supported programming that would bring these groups together in an intensive short-term experience focused on democratic participation, civic engagement, and leadership development, aligned with the idea of a "parliamentary" youth exchange (meaning exposure to legislative processes, representative institutions, and public-service leadership themes).
Funding for the opportunity was capped at $250,000, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000 and an expectation of making a single award. The funding instrument was a grant, and the opportunity required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of program costs or secure non-federal support as part of the overall project budget. The opportunity was posted on May 6, 2008, and closed on June 5, 2008, with an archive date of June 6, 2008.
Eligibility focused on organizations capable of delivering international exchange programming, including public and private institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement). Interested applicants were directed to consult the complete solicitation for specific requirements, application components, and program expectations. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Hans Posey, Program Specialist at the Department of State (poseyhe@state.gov).
