Purpose: The Youth Leadership
Program for Bosnia and Herzegovina has
been implemented annually since 1999
by a partnership of the Office of Public
Affairs (OPA) in the U.S. Embassy in
Sarajevo and the U.S. grantee
organization. The goals of the program
are (1) to provide a civic education
program that helps the participants
understand civic participation and the
rights and responsibilities of citizens in
a democracy; (2) to develop leadership
skills among secondary school students
and teachers appropriate to their needs;
and (3) to build personal relationships
among high school students and
teachers from Bosnia and Herzegovina
and the United States. A successful
project will be one that nurtures a cadre
of students and teachers to be actively
engaged in addressing issues of concern
in their schools and communities upon
their return home and are equipped
with the knowledge, skills, and
confidence to become citizen activists.
Participants will be engaged in a
variety of activities such as workshops,
community and/or school-based
programs, seminars, and other activities
that are designed to achieve the
program’s stated goals. Multiple
opportunities for participants to interact
with American youth and educators
must be included.
The applicant should present a
program plan that allows the
participants to thoroughly explore civic
education in the United States in a
creative, memorable, and practical way.
Activities should be designed to be
replicable and provide practical
knowledge and skills that the
participants can apply to school and
civic activities at home.
Applicants should outline their
project team’s capacity for doing
projects of this nature, focusing on three
areas of competency: (1) Provision of
leadership and civic education
programming, (2) age-appropriate
programming for youth, and (3) work
with individuals from BosniaHerzegovina or other areas of Southeast
Europe. Applicants need not have a
partner in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as
the Office of Public Affairs (OPA) of the
U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo will recruit
and select the participants from selected
cities in the Federation and in
Republika Srpska and will provide a
pre-departure orientation.
The U.S. project activities should take
place in spring 2009. Applicants should
propose the period of the exchange, but
the exact timing of the project may be
altered through the mutual agreement of
the Department of State and the grant
recipient. The program should be no
less than three weeks and up to four
