| Description: | The Office of Citizen Exchanges, SportsUnited Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for the FY 2015 Global Sports Mentoring Program (GSMP). Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct two separate four-week reciprocal mentorship programs. By empowering women, girls, and people with disabilities, the GSMP directly supports United States foreign policy goals, promotes social inclusion and elevates the status of marginalized populations, by encouraging professional relationships between sports leaders and administrators in the United States and those overseas. Utilizing mentorship, a leadership curriculum, sustained engagement with U.S. Embassies, and participant-led action plans, the GSMP positively impacts underserved communities, ultimately creating a more secure and democratic global playing field for all.
The first mentorship program, GSMP: Sports for Community in the spring of 2016, will use the platform and power of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to connect approximately 15 international emerging leaders, who are dedicated to increasing sports opportunities for people with disabilities throughout the Western Hemisphere, with 15 American mentors. Approximately 10 Americans mentors will participate in a reciprocal exchange overseas. The second mentorship program, GSMP: Empowering Women and Girls through Sports, in the fall of 2016, will connect approximately 20 female emerging leaders, dedicated to increasing opportunities for women and girls to participate in sports, with 20 American mentors. Approximately five to seven of the 20 American mentors will participate in a reciprocal exchange overseas. Through these two mentorship programs, a total of 70 participants (35 emerging leaders from other countries and 35 American mentors) will be engaged. |
