Opportunity Information: Apply for ECA ECAPEC 17 004
The FY 2017 Southeast Asia Youth Leadership Program (SEAYLP) is a U.S. Department of State exchange grant opportunity run through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. It is offered as an open competition (pending the availability of funds) for U.S.-based organizations to design and implement a short-term leadership and civic engagement exchange for emerging youth leaders from Southeast Asia. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government is expected to have a more active partnership role in shaping or overseeing key aspects of the program compared with a standard grant.
At the core of the opportunity is a three-week, U.S.-based program scheduled for April 2017. The program is intended to bring together a cohort of 60 participants total, consisting of youth and adult mentors representing all ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The exchange is meant to be more than a study tour; it is structured around leadership development and practical civic learning, with programming that helps participants understand democratic civic practices, strengthen leadership skills, and explore how to work effectively in diverse communities.
The thematic focus areas are civic education, leadership, diversity, and community engagement. The program is designed to help youth identify shared challenges and common aspirations across national, cultural, and religious differences, and then translate those shared goals into inclusive, community-centered action. In practical terms, applicants would be expected to propose exchange activities that expose participants to U.S. approaches to civic participation and community problem-solving, create opportunities for dialogue and collaboration within a multicultural cohort, and emphasize inclusive leadership, coalition-building, and constructive engagement in public life.
A key feature of SEAYLP is that it does not end when participants return home. The exchange is intended to culminate in follow-on efforts carried out in participants home communities. These follow-on activities are described as individual or small group projects implemented by exchange alumni, reinforcing the programs emphasis on applying lessons learned to local needs. The follow-on component is a built-in bridge between the U.S.-based experience and sustained community impact in Southeast Asia, encouraging participants to move from learning and networking to concrete action.
Eligible applicants include U.S. public and private nonprofit organizations that meet 501(c)(3) requirements, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and certain other eligible entities as specified in the announcement. The opportunity falls under CFDA 19.415 and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity. The funding opportunity number is ECA ECAPEC 17 004. The maximum award amount listed (award ceiling) is $1,500,000. The original application closing date was November 29, 2016, and the opportunity was created on October 25, 2016.
Overall, this grant supports the design and delivery of a cohort-based, U.S.-hosted youth leadership exchange that connects ASEAN youth and mentors to U.S. civic and community engagement practices, strengthens cross-cultural understanding, and equips participants to plan and implement inclusive community initiatives after returning home.Apply for ECA ECAPEC 17 004
