Leadership and English Advancement Program (LEAP): The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan is pleased to announce an open competition for eligible organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to organize camps for Afghan youths. Please carefully follow all instructions below. PAS will support six camps designed to teach English language and personal development skills to a diverse audience of Afghan youth. Camps should take place outside Afghanistan but within the region, be three weeks in length, and be as gender-balanced as possible. One of the six camps must be exclusively for girls so as to ensure diversity and allow a greater overall representation of young women. PAS intends to issue an award for a period of 36 months.
