Opportunity Information: Apply for 005 FY2022
The INTERETHNIC RECONCILIATION AND YOUTH TEACHER SUPPORT PROGRAM is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant opportunity offered through the U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is designed to support education-focused initiatives that help teachers, school administrators, and other educators build peacebuilding and reconciliation concepts into what they already do in schools and youth settings. The core idea is to strengthen educators ability to promote interethnic and intercommunity exchange, practical collaboration, and relationship building among young people from different ethnic groups and from different parts of the country, using either classroom instruction or structured after-school programming.
The opportunity is specifically looking for projects that clearly equip and support educators to implement activities, curricula, or program elements that increase understanding, appreciation, and cooperation across Bosnia and Herzegovina diverse communities. Competitive proposals would show a strong link between educator support and student-level outcomes, meaning the project should not only talk about reconciliation in abstract terms, but also demonstrate how teachers and schools will translate these aims into day-to-day learning experiences, joint activities, dialogue, teamwork, or other forms of meaningful interaction. The Embassy signals openness to innovative approaches, so applicants are encouraged to propose creative models that fit local realities while still delivering measurable progress toward interethnic connection and mutual understanding.
The intended participants on the education side include teachers, school administrators, and educators working with youth in one of two age ranges: students ages 10-17 or young people ages 18-25. In practice, this means proposals may target upper primary and secondary school settings as well as university-aged or early career youth programs, as long as the work is rooted in educator engagement and uses education or youth learning environments as the platform for reconciliation and community building. Because the emphasis is on educators and school-linked programming, strong projects would typically include training, mentoring, resource development, or structured support that enables educators to confidently facilitate intergroup learning and cooperation.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) in the education activity category, listed under CFDA 19.900. The funding opportunity number is 005 FY2022. The program anticipated making around four awards, with an award ceiling of $15,000 per award, indicating that it is geared toward smaller, focused projects rather than large multi-year national programs. The opportunity was created on January 26, 2022, and the original application closing date was March 18, 2022. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the full announcement, so applicants would need to consult the detailed eligibility section in the official posting to confirm whether their organization type qualifies.
Overall, the grant prioritizes practical, educator-centered initiatives that can be implemented within classrooms or after-school environments and that directly contribute to peacebuilding and reconciliation by bringing youth into constructive contact, cooperation, and shared community experience across ethnic and geographic divides in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Apply for 005 FY2022
