| Description: | The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to develop and implement a 2017 Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program (IYLEP) in Arabic for High School Students. Since its launch in 2007, the annual IYLEP program has been conducted in English. This pilot program in Arabic will test the feasibility and effectiveness of a program for Iraqi youth with little to no English language skills. The goal of the pilot program is to reach greater numbers of talented but underprivileged or marginalized Iraqi youth who meet all of the IYLEP eligibility requirements except the English language component. Participants would be high achieving future young Iraqi leaders whose socio-economic circumstances do not afford opportunities for quality English language learning. The goal of IYLEP is to foster the next generation of Iraqi leaders by exposing Iraqi high school students to U.S. society and culture and providing them with skills development in leadership, civic education and responsibility, diversity awareness and tolerance, and civil engagement. Proposals should include a U.S.-based exchange component and explain how program activities will promote mutual understanding between American and Iraqi youth. IYLEP advances the goals of the 2008 U.S.-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement to forge strong and lasting bonds of friendship and mutual understanding through exchange and other programs. Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award one cooperative agreement for up to $500,000 to carry out IYLEP in Arabic for High School Students. |
