What the grant funds

The FY 2025 Youth Ambassadors Europe (YA-EUR) Program will provide Russian youth (approximately between the ages of 18 – 22) the opportunity to participate in a month-long exchange in the United States to examine civic engagement and leadership development through a lens of science and technology. The program should offer participants the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities such as, but not limited to, workshops on civic education, community site visits related to the program themes, and homestays with American families. Upon their return home, the participants should apply what they have learned to implement projects that serve their communities. Multiple opportunities for participants to interact meaningfully with their U.S. peers must be included. Please see the full announcement for additional information.
