## What the grant funds

The Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for the Community College Initiative (CCI) Program. ECA is seeking proposal submissions for one cooperative agreement to design, implement, and oversee the CCI Program. The CCI Program aims to bring young emerging leaders for an intensive program at accredited U.S. community colleges, focused on building technical and professional skills while deepening participants’ understanding of the United States, its people, and its values. CCI participants may study at a U.S. community college for up to one academic year and are from underserved, underrepresented, and/or other target audiences. Program content, duration of study, and participating countries will align with U.S. foreign policy priorities and promote American values and youth empowerment.
