Opportunity Information: Apply for WAW NOFO FY25 02
The “Pathways to Success: Career Readiness through American Expertise” grant, offered by the U.S. Mission in Poland, supports projects that strengthen U.S.-Poland ties by empowering Polish high school students (ages 16–19) with crucial soft skills for career readiness. The initiative encourages programs that use American approaches to leadership, entrepreneurship, and workforce development.
Eligible projects should run for up to 18 months starting no earlier than September 30, 2025. They must include practical, interactive workshops designed to build skills such as public speaking, critical thinking, self-management, and problem-solving, along with career exploration and guidance components. Activities can include skill-building sessions, resume clinics, mock interviews, career planning workshops, mentorship meet-ups, and workplace visits.
Programs need to actively involve individuals with U.S. experience—such as business leaders, experts, or alumni of U.S. government exchange programs—to provide mentorship and model American career development practices. All proposals must highlight a clear connection to the United States and its values. Projects that lack significant U.S. content will not be considered.
The primary audience is Polish high school students, but proposals should also identify secondary audiences influenced by participants (e.g., teachers or local communities). Engagement should focus on in-person programming, with virtual elements as a supplement.
Programs that involve political activity, religious instruction, scientific research, fundraising, or duplication of existing projects are not eligible.
Applicants must be nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, or individuals such as U.S. exchange alumni. Organizations must be registered to operate in Poland or collaborate with a Polish partner. The application deadline is June 18, 2025. Funding is dependent on availability and final selection.Apply for WAW NOFO FY25 02
