Opportunity Information: Apply for PD SEOUL FY23 02 ADH
The Women s Youth Leadership Program is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity run through the U.S. Embassy Seoul Public Diplomacy Section to launch an inaugural leadership and mentorship cohort for young South Korean women, with a clear emphasis on reaching participants who live outside the Seoul metropolitan area. The program is framed around the shared responsibility of the United States and the Republic of Korea, as like minded democracies, to expand economic and social opportunity for women as Korea continues to grow in global influence. The Embassy s goal is to build a supportive, collaborative space where emerging women leaders can strengthen leadership skills, develop a more global mindset, and expand professional networks through direct engagement with American and Korean experts and with one another.
The core target group is at least thirty South Korean women ages 25 to 35 who are early in their careers, fluent in English, and have shown strong leadership potential across diverse sectors of the economy. Participant recruitment is expected to be conducted through a public facing application process using a standardized application form hosted on a public website, supported by program information and social media outreach. Selection is a shared responsibility between the grantee and U.S. Embassy Seoul, but the U.S. government keeps final approval authority over all participants. A major preference in the competition goes to proposals that meaningfully include women from outside Seoul and that actively use the Embassy s American Corner network in Pyeongtaek, Gangneung, Busan, Gwangju, and Jeju, in addition to programming at the American Diplomacy House in Seoul.
Applicants are asked to propose and deliver a structured set of activities that blend coaching, skills building, and networking. The Embassy expects at least ten coaching and discussion sessions that can be delivered either virtually or in person at American Corners. In addition, the program must include interactive leadership workshops hosted at the American Diplomacy House Seoul, along with networking opportunities that help participants connect with peers and established women leaders. A distinctive outcome of the program is that participants are not only developed as leaders but are also positioned to become mentors themselves, strengthening a pipeline of women leaders by supporting the next generation.
Programming is designed to include both virtual and in person components. For the virtual segment, the grantee organizes and runs a series of engagements with U.S. and or Korean experts who can provide practical coaching, help participants work through real workplace and leadership challenges, and guide them in planning next steps in their professional development. The in person workshop portion at the American Diplomacy House Seoul is described as intensive and includes guest experts, candid conversations about workplace challenges, and dedicated time for networking. Participants are also expected to create a personal leadership action plan and commit to mentoring at least one college student. During the workshop, the Embassy plans to arrange engagements with senior women government leaders, adding a high level exposure component to the learning experience.
After the workshop, the program continues with a follow on phase focused on mentorship and sustained support. The grantee is expected to help participants identify a college student mentee and provide support until participants are established in the mentoring relationship, specifically through the first three months. The Embassy also signals a strong preference for proposals that include a detailed alumni engagement plan so the cohort remains connected, continues to collaborate, and extends the program s impact beyond the initial set of events. Proposals should also include monitoring and evaluation plans to measure results and demonstrate lasting outcomes.
From a grants and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the Embassy anticipates being actively involved in key aspects of implementation rather than simply providing funds. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number PD SEOUL FY23 02 ADH with CFDA 19.441, offered by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to South Korea. The award ceiling is $35,000 with one award expected.
