09/04/2021

The U.S. Department of State’s Mission to Saudi Arabia announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program that would (a) select a number of high achieving Saudi Arabian secondary school students from underserved backgrounds, (2) coordinate their participation in the Education USA Connect Academies in the United States during the summer of 2022, and (3) provide an individualized follow-on program of educational advising services to guide participants through the U.S. college admission process in the year following the U.S. visit. Organizations must have a physical presence in Saudi Arabia or a partnership with a Saudi-based organization.Maintaining Saudi student mobility and access to the U.S. higher education system is a primary strategy for promoting long-term mutual understanding between the people of Saudi Arabia and the United States. It is also a key contributor to Saudi Arabia’s ambitions for economic transformation including youth and women’s workforce development. These policies promote regional stability and greater bilateral economic opportunities.The Quincy College Prep Program aims to improve opportunities for Saudi Arabian students from disadvantaged backgrounds and traditionally underserved communities to attain higher education in the United States. The program seeks to increase the cultural and academic awareness of a limited number of individuals in these targeted communities and support their U.S. higher education journeys by providing them with a first-hand experience on a U.S. college campus and parallel academic advising and leadership development.A successful proposal will include the following activities:• Recruitment and Selection – The grantee should create a mechanism to announce the program, solicit applications, and screen applicants for program eligibility and academic merit.o The recruitment and selection should conclude with sufficient time to place the students in Connect Academies programs and organize pre-departure activities.o Eligible candidates should be in grade 10 or 11 at the time of the application.o Selection criteria should emphasize academic merit; ability to participate successfully in the Academy program, including English-language skills at the intermediate to advanced level; likelihood of future acceptance to a U.S. college or university; likelihood of successful completion of an undergraduate degree program at a U.S. institution; family support of the applicant’s participation in the program.o The selection process should include participation by Embassy personnel.o The selection process should evaluate parental a/o family support for the applicant’s participation and the likelihood that the applicant, if selected, will ultimately attend and participate in the program through completion.• Placement and Pre-Departure – The grantee should place students in EducationUSA Connect Academies and coordinate logistical arrangements for their travel and participation.• Follow-on Pre-Academic Support and Leadership Development – Following return to Saudi Arabia after the summer U.S. experience, the grantee should engage students in a program of cohort educational advising and leadership development activities with individualized support for each student.o These activities may include educational advising, entrance exam preparation courses, mentoring in college application preparation and submission, or other activities that meet the program objectives.o Pre-Academic Support should include supporting the participants in competing for available Saudi national scholarship programs.• Communications and Public Affairs – The grantee should design social media and email communications campaigns in conjunction with the recruitment and to highlight program outcomes.• Budget Proposal and Scalability – Applicants may present 2-3 budget proposals at different funding levels between $50,000 and $130,000 so that they can be considered depending on the availability of funds. Alternatively, applicants may present a per participant cost along with their detailed budget so that the program can be scaled and a final program cost determined depending on availability of funds.

##   Youth and Climate Entrepreneurship Exchange

05/10/2022

06/30/2022

Program Objectives: This exchange will focus on entrepreneurship and innovation in the climate change sphere, including renewable energy; energy efficiency and sustainability; environmental engineering; climate adaptation; resilient and clean technologies; carbon reduction; food production; design; or other innovative fields addressing climate challenges today and in the future. The goal is to provide university students, business start-up leaders, and founders between 20 and 25 residing permanently in Austria with intensive, hands-on entrepreneurship education and leadership development training, as well as a greater understanding of U.S-Austrian collaboration on business-focused climate change solutions. Entrepreneurs help countries respond to specific problems, demands, or gaps in the market by identifying and pursuing new business opportunities; entrepreneurs and startups generate economic value, create jobs, and accelerate development, while often delivering social and environmental benefits for the customers and communities they serve.[A1] As such, this program should give participants first-hand and theoretical knowledge of founding, financing, and growing a startup in climate change-focused sectors, as well as how to maintain momentum and spur additional growth through programming, promotion, and networking opportunities. This program, which would take place between July and September 2023, should highlight the U.S. entrepreneurial ecosystem of a particular U.S. city or region that excels in climate change entrepreneurship. The program should include an in-person component in the United States that will expose participants to American culture, values, and business practices and highlight the United States as a destination for future business partnerships, investment, and ongoing education. The U.S. component should be preceded and followed by a substantial programming and educational component in Austria (in-person and virtual, as local health regulations allow) to include networking with Austrian leaders in the business and climate sectors; team building; pre-departure orientation, and knowledge and sector expertise-building elements. This component should also include engagement and mentoring opportunities with alumni from previous U.S. entrepreneurship exchange programs. As this will be a cooperative agreement, U.S. Embassy Vienna will have substantial involvement in this effort including participant selection and approval of the program structure and content of the U.S. component. The Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Embassy is providing maximum flexibility for applicant organizations to offer program models that effectively meet the overall goals of the program. In addition to those listed above, required elements of the program are as follows: - Participants should learn about the essential elements of an entrepreneurial ecosystem and how these elements inter-relate. Participants should have the opportunity to experience these elements in a local U.S. community through interactive, hands-on training, which might include, for example: presentations, meetings with entrepreneurs, social events, or business pitch presentations. Internships or practicums in businesses, NGOs, innovation hubs, or economic/business-related organizations could also be included. - Participants, specifically those with already established start-ups, participants should have interaction with top companies, founders, incubators, and venture capitalists in both countries. - Social entrepreneurship: Participants should learn how entrepreneurial principles can be addressed to remediate social ills, and how entrepreneurial concepts can spur civic action. - The program should include elements for post-program engagement with the Austrian participants that includes mentoring and supporting participants as alumni of this and other similar programs. - The recipient will identify specific and measurable outputs and outcomes based on the project specifications provided in the solicitation. Additional program goals include: - Promote the awareness of future Austrian entrepreneurs of the entrepreneurial ecosystem as practiced in the United States. - Encourage identification of the United States as a destination for future business partnerships, investment, and ongoing education. - Foster professional and personal ties with local entrepreneurs and U.S. citizens in the local community. - Promote mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of Austria. Participants and Audiences: Target audience and participants are students, business start-up leaders, and founders between 18 and 29 residing permanently in Austria, including aspiring entrepreneurs or youth actively engaged in a start-up.

##   Women’s Youth Leadership Program

05/10/2023

06/12/2023

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Seoul Public Diplomacy Section (PD) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce that funding is available for a youth women’s leadership program focused on supporting young women living in areas outside of Seoul. The Republic of Korea (ROK) is now one of the world’s most influential countries following decades of impressive economic growth and technological innovation, a boom in cultural exports, and public sector initiatives to establish the ROK as a “global pivotal state”. As like-minded democracies, both the ROK and the United States have a strong responsibility to make sure economic and social opportunities are open to all citizens, especially women. To support women’s economic opportunity, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul’s Public Diplomacy Section will create a leadership and mentorship cohort focused on building the skills of at least thirty South Korean aged 25-35 who represent diverse sectors of the economy and have shown the potential to grow as leaders in their respective fields. Through this program, participants will learn from American and Korean experts and their peers as well as broaden their professional networks in a supporting and collaborative environment. The U.S. Embassy seeks proposals from ROK-based organizations and individuals to run this inaugural program, focused on planning and implementing events, recruiting members, and building a strong support network that connects Korean and American women leaders. Strong preference will be given to proposals that include participants from outside of the Seoul metropolitan region and utilize our American Corner network (located in Pyeongtaek, Gangneung, Busan, Gwangju and Jeju) in addition to the American Diplomacy House in Seoul. Proposals should also include plans for monitoring and evaluation as well as follow-on alumni programs to ensure a lasting impact. Outputs/Outcomes This women youth leadership program will focus on developing their leadership skills, growing their global mindset, broadening their professional networking opportunities alongside other emerging women leaders, and supporting the next generation as mentors themselves. Details/Logistics U.S. Embassy Seoul and a grantee will be jointly responsible for vetting and selecting program participants. The U.S. government retains final approval authority for all participants, who will apply initially via a standardized application form on a public website with program information and associated information and social media campaigns. Participants should be between the ages of 25-35 years old, be fluent in English, be early in their careers, and have demonstrated the potential to grow as leaders in their professions. Grantee Expectations We expect the following distinct components of this program: · At least ten coaching and discussion sessions (either delivered in-person at our American Corners or virtually) · Interactive workshops on leadership at the American Diplomacy House Seoul · Follow-on activities for participants to serve as mentors for college students · Networking activities Virtual Engagements: The grantee will be responsible for organizing and implementing a series of virtual engagements with U.S. and/or Korean experts who can empower and provide coaching sessions to this group of selected participants. This virtual engagement should provide opportunities for participants to share their challenges, grow their leadership skills through professional coaching, and help them to develop their future plans. In-Person Workshop The leadership program will also include intensive leadership workshops at the American Diplomacy House Seoul, featuring guest experts, candid conversations about workplace challenges, and time for networking. Participants will also be asked to develop a personal “leadership action plan” and commit to serving as a mentor to at least one college student. As part of the workshop, Embassy Seoul will arrange engagements with senior women government leaders. Post Workshop Follow-On Following the workshop, the grantee will help participants to find their own college student mentee who they will work with, and support until participants are on board with mentoring for the first three-months. We will also give strong preference to programs with a detailed alumni engagement plan.

##   Leadership Training for Adolescent Girls and Young Women

06/23/2023

08/04/2023

PEPFAR announced the DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe) Partnership on World AIDS Day 2014. In 2015, DREAMS was planned with full grassroots participation. In 2016, DREAMS implementation began in ten countries of Sub-Saharan African countries including Mozambique.DREAMS focuses on HIV prevention interventions for Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) from 10 to 24 year olds. The program provides a comprehensive package of core interventions to address many of the factors that make girls and young women particularly vulnerable to HIV, including gender-based violence, exclusion from economic opportunities, and a lack of access to secondary school and broad components, such as parenting/caregiver programs and the specific evidence-based curricula for HIV and Violence prevention.The goal of DREAMS is to deliver on bold U.S. targets by supporting a multi-sectoral core package of interventions that goes beyond the health sector, addressing the structural drivers that directly and indirectly increase girls’ HIV risk, including poverty, gender inequality, sexual violence, and lack of education. The DREAMS Ambassador program was initiated in 2016 as way to recognize that adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) have limited access to adolescent friendly services that respond to their sexual reproductive health needs. The participation and leadership of AGYW is essential in the decision-making processes implementation of interventions and in the that affect their lives to achieve better health for AGYW.The focus of this program is to select and train AGYW to advocate for the rights of youth, provide leadership for DREAMS interventions, and to link their peers to the services available (in the community, schools, and the health centers), in order to maximize the impact of the DREAMS program.Among of the responsibilities of the DREAMS Ambassadors, their mission is to generate public attention for the DREAMS program and the problems that affect adolescent girls and youth in their communities and being and be the public face in existing structures such as girls’ clubs and safe spaces in the community.Mozambique still has one of the highest numbers of early pregnancy and female school drop-out it also ranks very high in lack of opportunities for young women to actively raise their voices in the society. One of the roots of this problem is related to the absence of female role models at all levels across all levels of the society. This has contributed towards a cycle of poverty perpetuated throughout generations limiting opportunities for girls and women.The applicant should provide a grassroots leadership training with innovative models of education focused on adolescents girls and young women to amplify talent, raise gender equality and promote sustainable transformation by empowering girls and young women to be the next generation’s changemakers through mentorship models.The approach of the leadership training needs to be based on a holistic vision of circular leadership and active citizenship (community, civic and participatory) that recognizes the individuality and complementarity of each being in the circle, with awareness that the girls and women can be the intergenerational reference modelsDuring this training, the group enters a conceptual questioning aimed at deconstructing and re-signifying concepts (leadership, management, power). From there it expands to a vision of leading for the common good and deepens its understanding of reference models practices, intentions, and relationships.Finally, it dives into building its own profile and a collective leadership manifesto. In conclusion, this approach recognizes the dynamic and evolving nature of a leadership profile that is constantly being updated and, as such, will never be completed or crystallized.
