## What the grant funds

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Brasília, Brazil / Bureau of WHA of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to implement the 2025 Brazil Youth Ambassadors program. Please follow all instructions below. Priority Region: WHA / Brazil Program Objectives: Mission Brazil seeks for institutional assistance to support the development and implementation of the Brazil portion of the 2025 Youth Ambassadors program for up to 46 selected students and 2 adult program assistants. The Youth Ambassadors exchange program offers outstanding, yet underprivileged, high school students from the public education system a short-term full immersion in U.S. culture and society, as well as skill-building opportunities for the 21st Century work environment. Awarded students visit the capital of the United States, attend meetings with public and private institutions, visit schools and social projects, participate in training sessions to help improve communication skills, leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and innovation, as well as to develop a creative action plan to help address a key issue in their respective communities. Since its inception in 2003, Mission Brazil’s Youth Ambassadors program (YAP) has evolved from a small exchange program for a dozen high school students to Brazil’s internationally recognized – and hemisphere-wide replicated – flagship youth engagement initiative. The YAP brand is easily recognizable throughout the country and reaches audiences from the dense urban centers of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to the most remote parts of rural Brazil. Beyond the exchange itself, this program has become the catalyst for the Mission to build on strategic and lasting partnerships with the government of Brazil by pursuing complementary policy goals in the areas of education, English language teaching, strengthening civil society, as well as by keeping the U.S. as the top destination for Brazilians interested in studying abroad. As a result of its positive impact, since 2010, State Department started funding the program throughout Latin America. Embassy Brazil complements the funding to provide this unique exchange opportunity for more Brazilian students.
