Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Leadership and Teacher Professional Development Program with Bosnia and Herzegovina is a U.S. Department of State exchange grant opportunity run through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. It is a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number ECA-PE-C-PY-08-32) inviting eligible U.S.-based organizations to design and carry out a short-term exchange program in the United States centered on leadership development and civic education. The program is structured as a three to four week experience and is intended to bring together a small delegation from Bosnia and Herzegovina made up of secondary school students and teachers, for a total of 21 participants.
The core purpose is to expose the visiting youth and educators to U.S. approaches to civic participation, community leadership, and related educational practices, using an organized schedule of training, workshops, site visits, and other structured programming. While the brief description does not list required themes beyond leadership and civic education, the title signals a dual focus: youth leadership activities for students and professional development content for teachers, likely designed so that educators can strengthen classroom practice and mentoring skills connected to civic learning and student leadership back home.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $85,000 and an award ceiling of $85,000. The announcement indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants are expected to contribute resources beyond the federal funds, whether through cash or allowable in-kind support. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" with details deferred to the full announcement, suggesting that the complete notice provides more specific guidance on program elements, allowable costs, and expected outcomes.
Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, as well as public, state-controlled, and private institutions of higher education. Additional eligibility conditions are referenced but not spelled out in the excerpt, with applicants directed to the full announcement for complete requirements. The competition was posted on December 7, 2007, with an application deadline of January 31, 2008, and an archive date of February 1, 2008, indicating it is a past opportunity but still useful as a reference model for similar ECA youth exchange competitions.
