Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS MEX PD DF 2018 03
The Jovenes en Accion (Youth in Action) 2019 Implementing Partner opportunity is a discretionary U.S. government cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Mission to Mexico (U.S. Embassy Mexico City). It supports a long-running binational youth development exchange that began in 2010 and has already served nine program generations, selecting a total of 698 Mexican high school students. The 2019-2020 cohort is positioned as the program's 10th anniversary generation, reflecting its role as a flagship youth leadership and civic engagement initiative between the United States and Mexico.
At its core, the program is designed to strengthen leadership, civic engagement, and service-oriented skills among Mexican high school students, including youth from at-risk communities. The structure includes a major U.S.-based component and complementary Mexico-based programming. The U.S. portion begins with a four-week summer program hosted in the United States, built around civic education, community service, and youth leadership development. Within that framework, participants explore a wide range of topical areas that reflect common community challenges and opportunities for youth-led solutions, including environmental issues, bullying prevention, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, discrimination, domestic violence awareness, financial literacy, school drop-out prevention, substance abuse prevention, and the use of technologies and methodologies for English language learning.
Implementation is shared across partners on both sides of the border. A U.S. implementing partner is responsible for organizing and running the four-week summer activities in the United States. Separately, this grant opportunity focuses on selecting a Mexican implementing partner that will manage the Mexico-based elements and overall participant engagement before and after the U.S. exchange. The Mexican implementing partner is expected to plan and deliver key in-country sessions such as the pre-departure orientation (PDO), a mid-term session, and closing sessions. These gatherings are meant to prepare students for the exchange, reinforce learning during the program cycle, and consolidate outcomes at the end, typically through structured workshops and training that align with the program's themes. Activities should include leadership and service workshops, hands-on community service engagement, youth empowerment programming, and training tied directly to the thematic subtopics listed in the announcement.
A major emphasis of the program is what happens after the formal training and exchange experience. Follow-on activities are described as integral, with the expectation that students will apply what they learned by planning and implementing community service projects in their home communities. In practice, this means the implementing partner should not only facilitate workshops and sessions, but also support participants as they translate new skills into concrete local action, helping ensure the exchange creates visible community impact and longer-term youth engagement rather than ending when travel concludes.
Funding for the overall initiative comes from the U.S. Department of State and Mexico's Ministry of Public Education, with additional private sector donations contributing to the program. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement and coordination with the funding agency during implementation. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $400,000, and it was posted on July 17, 2018, with an original closing date of August 20, 2018. Eligible applicants are described as non-profit organizations in Mexico that can serve as the Mexican implementing partner and meet the detailed requirements laid out in the full announcement documentation.Apply for DOS MEX PD DF 2018 03
