NOFO- U.S.-Oman Youth Council Program

The U.S. Embassy Muscat seeks an implementing partner to administer the U.S.-Omani Youth Council, a structured leadership and bilateral-engagement program for 10-15 university students from diverse academic disciplines and regions of Oman. The program will strengthen participants' understanding of the longstanding U.S.-Omani relationship and expose them to cooperation in diplomacy, trade, space, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, and other shared priorities. Key responsibilities include: university outreach, managing an open application and interview process, selecting a cohort, organizing monthly sessions and experiential visits, arranging participant travel and program logistics, administering a competitive mini-grants component, delivering a capstone event, establishing an alumni-engagement structure, and monitoring and reporting program results. • The program aims to promote youth leadership, civic participation, human capital development, innovation, and sustained people-to-people ties. • The recipient will work closely with the Embassy on participant selection, speakers, official visits, program content, public communications, and mini-grant approvals. • Eligible applicants should demonstrate experience in youth engagement, university outreach, multi-location program delivery in Oman, financial management, and coordination with government, academic, private-sector, and civil-society partners.
