FY 2015 Jovenes en Accion Program

 

The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the FY 2015 Jovenes en Accion (Youth in Action), an exchange program for Mexican high school students. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to provide participants with a four-week summer exchange program in the United States focused on civic education, community service, and youth leadership development and to support the implementation of service projects in their home communities. This program will be funded as a joint initiative between the U.S. Department of State, the Mexican government, and the private sector. U.S. Embassy Mexico City (or an implementing partner of its choosing) will recruit, screen, and select the participants. ECA funding will support U.S.-based activities for approximate ly 20-25 participants to take place during summer 2015. U.S. Embassy Mexico City anticipates additional funding to increase the total number of participants to 100 students; proposals should indicate the applicantâÂ₏™s ability in hosting up to 100 students and managing funding from multiple sources. Pending the availability of funds, it is the BureauâÂ₏™s intent to award one cooperative agreement for one base year plus two option years for an estimated total amount of $600,000.
