## What the grant funds

The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Embassy in Colombo is seeking a local implementing partner to administratively support a four-day Youth Leadership Summit in close consultation with the Embassy, tentatively scheduled for March 2025. The Summit will bring together Youth Forum members representing U.S. Embassy Colombo’s American Spaces in Kandy, Jaffna, Matara, Batticaloa and Colombo’s American Center. Approximately 75 Youth Forum Members from across Sri Lanka will participate in a four-day, in-person workshop of skill-building sessions intended to develop the next generation of Sri Lankan youth leaders.
