Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS NEWZEALAND 2022 02
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to New Zealand Public Affairs Section (PAS), is offering a discretionary funding opportunity to support a Young Pacific Leaders (YPL) 10-year Alumni Commemoration. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expects to work closely with the selected recipient during planning and implementation. The project is intended to mark the 10-year anniversary of the YPL program and, if funded, would be carried out at some point between January and December 2023. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number PAS NEWZEALAND 2022 02, with an application closing date of August 13, 2022.
At its core, the project is designed to convene and reconnect the existing YPL alumni community. The primary audience is the group of just over 300 alumni who have taken part in past YPL activities, including regional conferences, workshops, exchange programs, small grants, and community service projects. A secondary audience is the broader YPL network of emerging leaders aged 20 to 35 across the Pacific region, with the commemoration also serving as a chance to strengthen connections between alumni and newer or prospective participants. The overall intent is not only celebratory, but also practical: to reinforce relationships across borders and to help guide what YPL should prioritize in the future.
The YPL initiative is described as the U.S. government signature youth leadership engagement program in the Pacific. It aims to build a durable network of young leaders who collaborate across national boundaries and who work within four YPL pillars: education; environment and resource management; civic engagement; and economic and social development. The anniversary commemoration is expected to reflect those pillars by highlighting alumni achievements, encouraging cross-border problem-solving, and supporting continued leadership development that also strengthens ties between the United States and Pacific communities.
Eligible participants in the YPL program (and therefore the countries represented in the alumni network) include citizens and residents aged 20 to 35 from Australia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, the Federated States of Micronesia, French Polynesia, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Wallis and Futuna. The network also includes U.S. partners from the American-affiliated Pacific, specifically American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Hawaii. The commemoration is therefore inherently regional, with a built-in emphasis on collaboration across diverse island and Pacific Rim contexts.
The opportunity sets out three main goals for the anniversary engagement. First, it should connect and actively engage YPL alumni across the Pacific to commemorate and celebrate a decade of YPL and their engagement with the United States. Second, it should raise awareness of YPL among the broader pool of emerging leaders in the region, effectively strengthening the pipeline into future YPL activities. Third, it should include a structured effort to survey YPL alumni and the wider network in order to evaluate the program pillars and gather feedback that can inform future program design and strategic direction. In other words, the commemoration is expected to produce both community-building outcomes and actionable insights for program planning.
From an applicant standpoint, the competition is open to a range of organization types and individuals, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both with and without U.S. 501(c)(3) status), and individuals. The award ceiling is $250,000, and the Department of State anticipates making one award. The funding activity category is listed as Environment, and the associated CFDA number is 19.040.Apply for PAS NEWZEALAND 2022 02
