Building Skills, Strengthening Communities, and Advancing Innovation in Northwest Mexico

The U.S. Mission to Mexico is seeking proposals for programs that strengthen workforce readiness, promote safe border communities, and support a transparent and innovative information ecosystem in northwest Mexico. The programs should equip Mexican educators, youth, and media professionals with practical skills needed to succeed in a dynamic, binational environment. The proposals should address one of four objectives: improving English language teaching capacity, advancing STEM education, promoting youth development and safer communities through sports diplomacy, or strengthening journalists' capacity to responsibly use artificial intelligence and digital tools. • The programs should demonstrate practical skills-building, strong partnerships with U.S. institutions, measurable outputs and outcomes, and sustainability plans. • The programs should reach participants based on merit and reinforce U.S. interests in security, prosperity, and accurate information flow. • The estimated funding for the program is $50,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and an award floor of $10,000.
