Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Programs Academic Year Disability Components grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ECA-PE-C-PY-09-05) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. The purpose of the award is to fund one organization to manage and deliver the "Disability Components" that support high school exchange students with disabilities who are participating in two major academic-year exchange programs: the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program for students from Eurasia, and the Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program for students from countries with significant Muslim populations. In practical terms, the project is meant to make these exchange experiences workable and successful for students with disabilities by combining structured in-person workshops with ongoing, individualized support throughout the year.
The core program activities include two required workshops and year-round support services. The first is a five-day summer Preparatory Workshop designed to help participating students get ready for their exchange experience, likely focusing on orientation, self-advocacy, disability-related planning, communication skills, and strategies for navigating school and community life in a new environment. The second is a two-day spring Leadership and Reentry Workshop that focuses on leadership development and preparing students to return home, reintegrate into their communities, and use their exchange experience in positive, forward-looking ways. Beyond these events, the funded organization must provide continuous support during the academic year by assisting the placement organizations that manage day-to-day student hosting and school placements, while also maintaining regular communication with each student as needed. This implies an active coordination role: helping troubleshoot accommodation issues, facilitating problem-solving between students and local partners, and ensuring students have consistent support as challenges arise.
The opportunity anticipates serving about 30 high school-aged participants in total across the Disability Component Program. The government expects to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $220,000 and an award ceiling of $220,000, indicating that proposals likely needed to fit within that upper limit. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) as part of their proposed budget and project plan, though the exact requirements would be detailed in the full announcement.
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, private institutions of higher education, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with other applicant types as referenced in the full announcement. The competition was posted on December 16, 2008, with a closing deadline of February 6, 2009, and it was archived on February 7, 2009. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Hans Posey, Program Specialist, reachable at poseyhe@state.gov.
