Opportunity Information: Apply for BRAZIL YA 2301
The Youth Ambassadors Program grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Brazil, Embassy Brasilia, Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs) funding competition seeking an organization to support the Brazil-based logistics and preparation for the 2024 Youth Ambassadors Program. The project focuses on enabling up to 50 selected Brazilian public high school students, along with 2 adult escorts, to take part in a short-term exchange experience in the United States. The program is designed for high-achieving students who are also underprivileged, with the goal of giving them direct exposure to U.S. culture and civic life while building practical skills tied to modern education and employment needs.
At its core, the Youth Ambassadors exchange is structured as an immersion and leadership development experience. Students typically visit Washington, DC, engage with public and private institutions, visit U.S. schools and community or social impact projects, and take part in trainings aimed at strengthening communication, leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship, innovation, and problem-solving. A major program outcome is that students develop a creative action plan during the exchange that targets a real issue in their home communities, with the expectation that they will return to Brazil prepared to put those ideas into practice.
The selected implementing organization is expected to handle key operational responsibilities in coordination with the Embassy. These duties include helping screen and pre-select Brazilian candidates, arranging and purchasing in-country travel within Brazil, and booking round-trip international airfare so participants travel together on the same flights to and from the United States. The organization must also ensure travel insurance coverage during the pre-departure orientation period in Brazil and for the return travel sequence, provide a dollar-denominated travel allowance for minor incidental expenses during the program, and incorporate a COVID-19 and/or broader pandemic mitigation plan with specific measures. In partnership with the Embassy, the implementer must design and deliver a thorough pre-departure orientation so students feel prepared for their first exchange experience. After the exchange, the organization must provide about three months of follow-on support to help participants begin implementing the community action plans they developed while in the United States.
This opportunity is positioned within a larger, long-running U.S.-Brazil youth engagement strategy. The Youth Ambassadors Program began in 2003 and has grown from a small exchange into a widely recognized flagship initiative in Brazil, with visibility across major cities and remote regions alike. The program is also described as a catalyst for strengthening partnerships with Brazilian institutions and advancing shared goals in education, English language learning, civil society, and encouraging study in the United States. Since 2010, the State Department expanded support for similar programming across Latin America, reflecting the program model’s perceived success and replicability.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary award administered by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Brazil. The opportunity number is BRAZIL YA 2301, with an expected single award (ExpectedAwards: 01) and an award ceiling of $230,000.
