Description

The U.S. Mission to Sri Lanka is seeking administrative and program support for two American Spaces in Sri Lanka through a Cooperative Agreement. American Spaces are cultural centers based in libraries and other institutions throughout Sri Lanka, providing resources and educational opportunities to their target audience while also serving as gateways for their audience to learn about American society, culture, and values. The primary target audience of American Space programming includes youth between 17 and 35 years old, particularly those with the potential and interest to become local or national leaders. The goal of the project is to bolster Sri Lankan civil society, promote democratic governance and respect for human rights, foster sustainable economic growth, and enhance the leadership skills of youth. The recipient of the grant will be responsible for general and administrative support to the specified American Spaces, including providing staff to operate the American Corner Kandy. They will also plan and execute programming in line with American Spaces Standards around the identified themes in the goal. The grant opportunity page of the US Embassy Sri Lanka provides additional information.
