Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS LONDON PD 2018 02
The Youth Exchange on Social Cohesion grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS LONDON PD 2018 02) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to the United Kingdom (the U.S. Embassy in London). It supports education-focused programming (CFDA 19.451) and is designed to fund organizations that can plan and run a short-term international exchange experience in the United States for young people based in the UK.
At its core, the program funds the development and implementation of a 14 to 21-day group exchange in the U.S. for up to 10 UK-based high school-aged participants. The exchange is centered on practical learning about how communities in the United States work to counter hate crimes and strengthen resilience in the face of social conflict. The intent is not just classroom-style instruction, but a highly interactive and immersive experience that exposes participants to American approaches to social cohesion, conflict prevention, and community responses to intolerance.
The Embassy emphasizes community engagement and direct interaction with American interlocutors. In practice, that means participants are expected to spend substantial time meeting and speaking with people and organizations involved in these issues on the ground, potentially including community leaders, civil society groups, educators, and other practitioners. The program structure is expected to rely on discussions, facilitated dialogue groups, workshops, site visits, and professional appointments, creating multiple settings where students can hear diverse perspectives, ask questions, and reflect on what works, what does not, and why.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism with an award ceiling of $75,000. The opportunity anticipated making up to 8 awards, indicating the Embassy planned to support several separate implementing organizations or program models rather than a single national project. The competition opened on January 12, 2018, and originally closed on February 13, 2018, which sets the historical application window for that specific notice.
Eligibility is targeted to nonprofit organizations, including those with U.S. 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. In other words, the opportunity is aimed at nonprofit implementers capable of running youth exchange programming and coordinating international travel and programming in the United States, rather than universities.
Overall, the grant supports a compact but intensive exchange that uses experiential learning to help UK teenagers better understand U.S. efforts to address hate-driven harm and strengthen community ties. The exchange format is designed to move beyond observation and into meaningful engagement, giving participants structured opportunities to build knowledge, develop cross-cultural understanding, and bring home practical insights about promoting social cohesion.Apply for DOS LONDON PD 2018 02
