The Office of Citizen Exchanges of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the administration of the FY 2025 Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) Enhancement Program. The CBYX Program was inaugurated in 1983 through a bilateral agreement between the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag. The program celebrates German-American friendship based on common values of democracy and conveys lasting personal and institutional relationships through an academic year school and home-stay experience. Annually, up to 300 American and 300 German youth participate in the program’s high school, young professionals and vocational components. There are more than 29,000 U.S. and German alumni of the program. American participants in Germany are provided with mid-year enhancement activities as well as end-of-year sessions which include meetings with members of the Bundestag. The CBYX Enhancement Program is designed to provide a similar experience to the German participants in the United States. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit a proposal to conduct civic education workshops covering all 300 2026-2027 CBYX participants or may submit a proposal covering the 235 2026-2027 high school participants or covering the 65 2026-2027 young professional participants, respectively.
