Opportunity Information: Apply for TOKYO PAS FY23 01 10
The FY2023 U.S. Embassy Tokyo: Ambassador's Youth Council Japan Conference 2023-2024 opportunity is a Department of State, U.S. Mission to Japan funding competition run through the U.S. Embassy Tokyo Public Affairs Section. It supports a single organization that can design, implement, and oversee the first country-wide Ambassador's Youth Council (AYC) Japan Conference, contingent on the availability of FY2023 funds. The core idea is to convene a multi-day, youth-centered national conference that brings together roughly 50 to 70 young Japanese leaders who previously participated in Ambassador's Youth Council programming in Tokyo and Kansai. Participants are expected to be alumni ages 18 to 24, and the event is meant to be energetic, practical, and action-oriented rather than purely ceremonial or lecture-based.
Programmatically, the Embassy is looking for a conference model that helps these young leaders build concrete solutions, partnerships, and collaborative ideas related to global challenges, with an emphasis on both bilateral U.S.-Japan cooperation and broader multilateral cooperation. In other words, the conference should be structured so that participants are not only learning about issues, but actively working together to develop initiatives, proposals, or networks that can carry forward beyond the event. The language of the announcement points to a "high-energy, dynamic" format, which typically implies interactive sessions such as workshops, design sprints, small-group project development, skills training, and facilitated discussions that produce clear outputs and next steps.
The funding instrument allows for either a cooperative agreement or a grant, with the opportunity categorized as discretionary. The award ceiling is $50,000, and the Embassy anticipates making one award. The activity category is listed as Business and Commerce under CFDA 19.040, which is a common listing for Public Affairs and exchange-related programming administered by the Department of State. Because this is framed as a cooperative agreement option, applicants should be prepared for the Embassy to have an active role in shaping or approving key elements of the program, such as the agenda, speakers, messaging, branding, deliverables, and monitoring and evaluation approach.
Eligible applicants span a range of education and nonprofit entities, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not higher education institutions in that latter category). This eligibility scope suggests the Embassy is open to proposals from universities as well as mission-driven organizations that have demonstrated capacity to run convenings and youth leadership programming. A strong applicant would typically be one that can credibly handle end-to-end conference delivery: participant coordination, logistics, facilitation, content development, speaker recruitment, and post-conference follow-up to sustain outcomes.
Key administrative details in the source information include the funding opportunity number TOKYO PAS FY23 01 10, a creation date of December 23, 2022, and an original closing date of February 19, 2023. The applicant selected through this competition would be responsible for turning the concept into an actual national convening for AYC alumni, ensuring the event environment is tailored to young adults, and aligning the conference content with the stated goal of empowering the next generation of Japanese leaders to collaborate on global issues through U.S.-Japan and multilateral frameworks.Apply for TOKYO PAS FY23 01 10
