I. Funding Opportunity Description
Authority
Overall grant making authority for
this program is contained in the Mutual
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act
of 1961, Public Law 87–256, as
amended, also known as the FulbrightHays Act. The purpose of the Act is ‘‘to
enable the Government of the United
States to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States
and the people of other countries * * *;
to strengthen the ties which unite us
with other nations by demonstrating the
educational and cultural interests,
developments, and achievements of the
people of the United States and other
nations * * * and thus to assist in the
development of friendly, sympathetic
and peaceful relations between the
United States and the other countries of
the world.’’ The funding authority for
the program above is provided through
legislation.
Overview
The Youth Leadership Program
provides three-week exchanges in the
United States for high school youth and
adult educators from countries
identified as Department priorities.
Exchange activities will focus on civic
education, community service, and
youth leadership development.
Secondary themes on issues of global
relevance may be added. Participants
will engage in a variety of activities
such as workshops on leadership and
service, community site visits related to
the program themes and subthemes,
interactive training and discussion
groups, presentations, visits to high

schools, local cultural activities,
homestays, and other activities designed
to achieve the program’s stated goals.
Multiple opportunities for
participants to interact meaningfully
with their American peers must be
included. Follow-on activities with the
participants are an integral part of the
program, as the students apply the
knowledge and skills they have
acquired by planning service projects in
their home communities.
The goals of the program are to:
(1) Promote mutual understanding
between the people of the United States
and the people of other countries;
(2) Prepare youth leaders to become
responsible citizens and contributing
members of their communities; and
(3) Foster relationships among youth
from different ethnic, religious, and
national groups.
The objectives of the program are for
participants to:
(1) Demonstrate a better
understanding of the elements of a
participatory democracy as practiced in
the United States;
(2) Demonstrate critical thinking and
leadership skills; and
(3) Demonstrate skills in developing
project ideas and planning a course of
action to bring the projects to fruition.
The primary themes of the program
are:
(1) Civic Education (Citizen
Participation, Grassroots Democracy and
Rule of Law);
(2) Community Service; and
(3) Youth Leadership Development.
For each project, applicant
organizations must focus on these
primary themes. Secondary themes such
as business and entrepreneurship, the
environment, public health, or other
topics of global relevance will serve to
illustrate the more abstract concepts of
the primary themes. For example, the
secondary theme of the environment
can be used to examine how a group of
individuals with an idea can start a
recycling campaign in their community.
These themes may vary in response to
Department priorities connected with
the countries that participate.
Using these goals, objectives, and
themes, applicant organizations should
identify their own specific and
measurable outputs and outcomes based
on the project specifications provided in
this solicitation. Proposals should
indicate how recipients will achieve the
short-term program objectives, and how
these objectives will contribute to the
achievement of the stated long-term
goals.
Project Outline
The amount of funding available is
approximately $600,000. ECA
