Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Leadership Program with Algeria is a U.S. Department of State exchange grant run through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. The program is designed to bring a cohort of Algerian youth and adult mentors to the United States for an approximately four-week exchange during summer 2012. The core purpose is to strengthen civic education and youth leadership skills while promoting respect for diversity and encouraging practical community engagement. A key feature is that the exchange is not meant to end when participants return home; the grant also supports follow-on community service projects in Algeria so that participants can apply what they learned in tangible ways within their own communities.
Under the program structure, the U.S. Embassy in Algiers handles recruitment, screening, and selection of the Algerian participants. The organization that receives the award is responsible for recruiting, screening, and selecting the American participants who will engage with the Algerian delegation during the exchange. The award recipient must also work closely with an in-country partner in Algeria to coordinate logistics and to help set up and sustain the follow-on activities after the U.S. portion concludes. In practice, this means the grantee is expected to manage program design and implementation in the United States (such as workshops, site visits, community meetings, and leadership training components) while also ensuring coordination and continuity with partners in Algeria for post-program service projects.
The funding opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation (for example, coordination, approvals, or ongoing collaboration). The competition is expected to result in one award. The estimated total funding available is $250,000, and the award ceiling is also $250,000, meaning the top funded proposal would generally be capped at that amount. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should plan to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the full announcement requirements) to support the program.
Eligibility is targeted to organizations capable of running international exchange programs and youth leadership initiatives. Applicants may include U.S. public and private nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, as well as public, state-controlled, and private institutions of higher education. Additional eligibility details are referenced in the full announcement. The grant falls under CFDA 19.415, Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs (Citizen Exchanges), which aligns with ECA's broader public diplomacy and people-to-people exchange mission.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on November 21, 2011, with a proposal deadline of January 4, 2012, and an archive date of January 5, 2012. The funding opportunity number is ECA PE C PY 12 09. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact is Hans Posey, Program Specialist, at poseyhe@state.gov.
