Opportunity Information: Apply for 007 FY2018
The Youth Leadership and Teacher Professional Development Program with Bosnia and Herzegovina (Funding Opportunity Number 007, FY2018) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically the Office of Public Affairs (OPA) at the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo. The program is designed to support an intensive three- to four-week exchange in the United States planned for spring 2019, bringing together a delegation from Bosnia and Herzegovina made up of 21 participants total: 18 high school students and three adult educators (teachers) drawn from selected cities across the country.
At its core, the exchange is structured as a practical, hands-on learning experience centered on civic education, community service, and youth leadership development. The intent is not simply cultural exposure, but a substantive survey of how civic participation works in practice and how communities organize to address local needs. Program activities are meant to build both knowledge and real-world skills, so participants come away with a stronger understanding of civic responsibility, leadership habits, and ways to initiate or support community-based projects.
The learning format combines several interactive components. Students and teachers are expected to take part in workshops and facilitated sessions focused on leadership and civic engagement, alongside community service activities that allow them to apply what they are learning in real settings. The agenda also includes meetings with community leaders and discussion groups, creating opportunities to hear directly from practitioners and to reflect on how similar approaches might translate to their home communities. A key feature of the program is sustained interaction: participants will engage not only with each other as a Bosnian and Herzegovinian cohort, but also with American peers, supporting relationship-building and deeper exchange around shared community issues, leadership styles, and civic life.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity is categorized as a grant under CFDA number 19.900. The total funding structure includes an award ceiling of $140,000, with up to three awards expected. The opportunity was created on August 1, 2018, with an original application closing date of August 31, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, suggesting the embassy anticipated applications from organizations capable of designing and administering an exchange program of this scope, including recruitment/selection support, program logistics, and educational content aligned with civic education and leadership development outcomes.Apply for 007 FY2018
