The United States Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina has announced BOLD Small Grant Mentoring Program. The BOLD (BiH Omladinski Lideri, Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders) network is a project of Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) that seeks to empower young people across BiH, age 18-35, through leadership opportunities and training, to implement projects for positive change in their communities.
Goals
The goal of the mentoring program is to equip awardees of the grant competition with the skills and support needed, throughout the grant year, to effectively implement their projects in their communities, and to become skilled project managers and grant administrators. The applicant will be expected to guide the winning grantees through the administrative process of receiving their award, successfully implementing their program, handling problems as they arise, and regular reporting on the project’s progress to Public Diplomacy Section (PDS). The most qualified applicants will have a thorough understanding of the U.S. Government’s grant process and how to be a steward of those funds for the most effective outcome. Applicants should also be willing and available to expertly impart that knowledge and experience to young grantees who are seeking to successfully make a difference in their communities.
