The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for the management of the Youth Programs Academic Year Disability Components, hereinafter referred to as the Disability Components Program. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to: 1) provide support services to students with disabilities and the organizations that place them in their schools and communities, and/or 2) provide trainings for these students and their placement organizations. The academic year programs bring high-school aged exchange students to the United States for one academic year. The students live with American host families, attend American high schools, and participate in community service and enhancement activities. Approximately 32 of these students will participate in the Disability Components Program, which will enhance their academic year programs by providing them with additional guidance and support throughout the year.
